A rim sherd from a large urn. Unfortunately the outer lip is destroyed so its original form is unknown. However there is the beginning of a cordon like the 2 below these so it may be similar or more projecting. Cordons are often found on Iron Age pottery and a few Trevisker Bronze Age urns have cordons under the rim. Cornish Archaeological Journal 30, page 119, fig 50 has this design and it is in The Royal Cornwall Museum with oblique downward running platted cords as 2 sherds, from that site(TRURI: 1991.78a 11-12,4. Howevever the sherd described here has to be orientated upright w…

Pottery body sherd 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 mid-brown on the exterior and dark brown on the interior of the sherd, with a dark brown core. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There is a small central applied lump on the exterior of the sherd, but it does not look deliberate enough to be part of a cordon or other device of decoration, though the sherd is only a small part of the pattern. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is mid-brown on the exterior and dark brown on the interior of the sherd.

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There are small circular depressions on the exterior of the sherd, but these may be the result of the natural eroding out of the inclusions from the matrix.

This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

An outward flared rim from a soft handmade ceramic vessel. It is difficult to guess the original diameter due to the uneven inconsistent curvature and small size of sherd. The inner surface is worn and mostly corroded white felspar grits of 1-2mm are exposed.The lip and outside surface are better preserved and have a darkened smoked appearance.Throughout, the fabric is orangey brown and scratchable with the finger nail. In this field Gabbroic clay(from The Lizard, Cornwall) pottery like this is found but it is harder, usually reduced black and some of it is grass-marked and hence Ear…

A slightly abraded fragment of a ceramic vessel. It is a tapered, slightly inward pointing rim sherd. The top of the rounded rim is nicked by a diagonally angled finger nail. Another one appears to have been on the left break, pitched at the same angle and 7mm apart. About 15mm below the nail decoration, small nails pinching or another method have modelled an 'almond eye' motif. The depression around the left of it is scooped up to make the convex form. The ceramic fabric is dark reddish brown and is well gritted with 1-2mm corroded white felspar, likely a gabbroic clay from The Lizar…
