Workflow stage: Published
A coarseware handle of Bronze Age to Roman date (2350 BC- AD 410). The fabric is hand-formed, black at the core on one terminal only (where the handle has broken away with part of the vessel wall fabric) and otherwise pale orange throughout and at the surfaces. It is hand moulded and contains abundant, ill-sorted quartz (1.0 - 4.0mm) grits, many of which erupt at the surface. Given the variable oxidisation of the fabric, it is suggested that this vessel was fired on a bonfire, in which temperature and oxygen controls are limited.

Body Sherds: Six body sherd from a large coarseware ceramic urn of Prehistoric date. The material is hard, coarse, and coloured dark grey-black in the core and pale orange-brown at the surfaces. The fabric is laminated and tempered with frequent, ill-sorted, angular pebbles of an iron-rich stone (c.1.5 - 5.0mm in length). A fine micaceous dust is rare within the fabric. The natural iron within the stone has oxidised and is causing delamination of the fabric. A single fragment of possible burnt undiagnostic mammalian bone is associated with the ceramic sherds. Bronze-Age in date. …

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…

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…

A sherd of poorly fired ceramic of uncertain prehistoric date. The sherd has a buff outer side while the rest is a mid brownish grey colour with occasional rounded stone inlcusions. The sherd is likely to be from a vessel however it may also be fired clay, or just a poorly fired vessel. It is suggested that this sherd is Bronze Age or early Iron Age in date.
