Pottery base sherd, possibly from a shallow platter, of grass-marked ware, with the impressions of grass or chaff clearly visible on the base of the sherd. The surface and core of the sherd has been oxidised to a light brown colour. The surface of the pot has a thick layer of carbonised material on the exterior, just above the base. The fabric looks, from macroscopic analysis, to be gabbroic, as it has inclusions of mica, white felspar and a dark grey mineral which could be augite. Gabbroic clay, sourced on the Lizard, carried on being used during the post-Roman period and into the Ea…

Pottery base sherd with part of the body of the vessel remaining, suggesting from its curvature and angle that it came from a shallow bowl. Without the rim it is difficult to classify and date. The surface and core of the sherd have been reduced to a dark brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the interior surface of the sherd. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica and a lot of crushed quartz inclusions, which is typical of the granitic clay used during the Romano-British period in Cornwall. This style of bowl was found at the Romano-British settle…
