Record ID: CORN-87AA73
Object type: POT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery body sherd with a few dimples in the exterior of the sherd, which are most likely where larger inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, and through half of the core. This gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Possibly pottery body sherd. Crucible fragment. Dark grey hard reduced fabric with a bubbled and vitreous coating inside and out, markedly thicker on the outside, and on the ?lower part of the vessel wall. A vessel diameter of circa 180mm might be inferred - it remains uncertain where on the vessel wall this sherd derives from. This object is potentially important evidence for non ferrous metalworking or other high temperature processes such as glassworking, and may complement other industrial evidence from the same site. The sherd was kindly examined by Wallace Collyer of the North L…
