Record ID: CORN-5AB4F2
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery rim sherd, un-decorated, from a simple open Iron Age jar with an upright neck. The sherd tapers towards the body from the rim, suggesting that the vessel was hand-made and built up of coils, where the thickness would vary from base to rim.
The fabric looks like it is probably made from gabbroic clay, as there are medium to fine crushed light felspar inclusions and dark augite inclusions. The colour of the clay has been oxidised throughout from the exterior to interior to a light orange colour.
This pot sherd may be associated with another (CORN-5A7104) that was found near…

Pottery rim sherd from a jar with an upright rim, slightly flattened on the top.
The fabric is a uniform dark brown colour throughout, with a reduced exterior and interior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture but is now covered in patches of carbonised remains on both the exterior and interior of the sherd.
Iron Age in form, with its upright rim.

Pottery base sherd with part of the foot ring from the base of a bowl, possibly a cordoned ware bowl dating from the Late Iron Age.
