Two small pottery body sherds made of gabbroic clay, probably from a vessel dating from early to middle Bronze Age, c. 1800-1100 BC. Gabbroic clay weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite, but is also an admixture with large inclusions of other materials such as quartz which are not natural to the gabbro clay. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior. Fragment 1 has evidence of black sooting on the top right corner of the fragment. Measurements: Fragment …

Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age ceramic beaker. Found in face of cliff c. 2m from the base, perhaps in slipped soil, Full profile extant, complete base and one third of the rim, about half of vessel surviving. Predominantly ancient breaks occur on the main piece. Two sherds join it at recent breaks. Five other sherds do not, and are bordered by both new and ancient breaks. These facts suggest the vessel was probably buried intact. The fabric is quite soft, and oxidised buff with red external margin in lower part and reduced core in thicker parts. It is slightly sandy with sparse …

Large pottery body sherd of a large urn or food vessel decorated with a single line of a double-plaited or twisted cord impression running along the upper edge of the exterior of the sherd, where it has broken away from the rest of the vessel. This is probably the lower border of a panel of decoration which is normally found in the upper third of the pot, which can have combinations of twisted cord impressed chevrons and oblique lines between the horizontal borders. The fabric is a gabbroic admixture (Henrietta Quinnell pers comm) with large inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and…

Pottery rim sherd of bucket-shaped food vessel, with a slightly everted rim and a decorated exterior from the rim to the break of the sherd. Below the rim is a horizontal row of circular dimples and one incised finger-nail impression in an arc above one dimple. Below the row of dimples are a series of vertical incised lines, which are almost parallel but carried out without a care for symmetry. The curvature of the rim suggests that the vessel would have had a diameter of about 200 mm. There are patches of burnt material, mainly on the interior of the sherd, which suggests that the ve…

Pottery rim sherd of probably a bucket-shaped vessel, with a simple flat rim and an exterior surface that appears to be decorated with one ovate dimple or impression about 6 mm from the edge of the rim. The curvature of the rim suggests that the vessel would have had a diameter of about 200 mm. The fabric is an orangey buff colour on the exterior and a dark brown on the interior, with inclusions of pale felspar, dark augite and mica. These inclusions suggest that the fabric is a Gabbroic admixture, which is derived from the gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Liza…

Prehistoric pottery sherd The fragment is irregular (28.2mm long, 22.4mm wide and up to 11.2mm thick, with a weight of 5.7g). Two of the breaks are old, while the other appears to be more recent. The fabric has a buff oxidised exterior surface but the interior is grey and appears reduced. Frequent angular quartz inclusions are present within the sherd of small and medium size. There is the suggestion of a linear decorative line on the surface, although uncertain. The sherd is a wall sherd and is likely to be of Early Bronze Age date (c. 2000 – 1500BC). The wall thickn…

Bronze age to Medieval pottery vessel sherds. The pottery appears hand built, has rough fabric with large gritty inclusions and lots of mica. It has a thick section and some sherds have evdience of sooting on the outer? surface. It was found in a very tight scatter disturbed by tractor, near a Bronze Age barrow cemetery. So its probable that it is prehistoric, however pottery such as this is known in the area up to the medieval period.

Sherd of pottery in a crushed rock-tempered fabric from the curved wall of a hand-thrown vessel. The outer surface is reddy-orange in colour with prominent flecking from white (quartzite?) inclusions, but fractured surfaces reveal a dark grey reduced core, and the inside surface of the vessel is black - possibly part of a cremation urn? The fragment is roughly rectangular and measures 58.5mm high by 41.1mm wide and is c.13 mm thick, and it weighs 38.3g. Suggested date range is probably bronze to possibly iron age c.2000BC to AD50
