A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges and wear progressing to leave a central undamaged zone.The decoration comprises oblquely but similarly orientated small finger tip impressions into the wet clay. The same one was likely used and the nail is short and well looked after. Piggott, 1954 illustrates a vessel from Woodhenge with similar decoration with this density of finger-tipping above the cordon and towards the rim. The outer surface was smoothed with few grits showing before decorating. The fabric is red on the outside and this extends just under the surface wi…

A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges and wear progressing over the exterior and perhaps removing some decoration, but certainly exposing grits.The decoration comprises oblquely but similarly orientated small finger tip impressions into the wet clay. A central impression is quite well preserved with another next to it broken through and a parallel one broken along the nail, on the edge of the pot sherd.The same finger tip was likely used and the nail is short and well looked after.

A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges.The fabric has fine cracks on drying, but has otherwise good surface condition with a smoothed wiped exterior and few exposed grits. When the clay was still wet a sharp v-section line was incised circumferentially and it has overlapped itself and doubled on this sherd. A longer finger nail may have convieniently produced this decoration. A diagonal line incision has run up and to the right from the horizontal line and has dictated the edge of the oblique left break of the pot sherd. At the bottom the break has follwed a parall…

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…

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 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 base sherd with smooth exterior and uneven interior, both with dimples in the surface where large inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. There is also a semi-circular cut into the right edge of the interior of the sherd, which may have been part of a hole, but it does not extend through to the base of the sherd and is too worn to be sure. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has large inclusions of pale felspars, and smaller inclusions of dark augite and mica, and is mid-brown throughout in colour. Th…
