Small vessel fragment probably dating from the Prehistoric period, i.e. c. 2000BC-1st century AD. The vessel was made from very soft skin-coloured earthenware and hence, the fragment is very worn and the surface soft to the touch. The fabric was tempered with small and medium-sized quartzite sand and possibly some organic matrial that got burned in the kiln.
