A sherd from the body of an early Bronze Age vessel, dating to the period c.2350-c.1200 BC. Hard, coarse fabric containing plentiful poorly sorted quartz pieces (<2mm). The outer surface and core are an oxidised orange-red colour while the inner surface is a lighter grey. The outer surface is decorated with bands of three and two parallel lines of small square indentations. The fragment is too small to provide an indication of the original size and form of the vessel.  With thanks to Carlotta Marchetto, Oxford Archaeology East for identification help.  Length: 30.16mm, w…

Pottery body sherd of a storage vessel, likely from the Middle Bronze Age (c.1600-1200 BC) but without decoration to confirm a date within the 2nd millennium BC. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior. The curvature of the upper edge of the sherd suggests that the original diameter of the vessel would have been about 500 mm in diameter. The fabric, thickness and curvature is typical of what is locally term…

A body sherd of probable Early Bronze Age (2400 - 1500 BC) ceramic vessel, the fabric dark grey/ black in colour and rather fine with numerous micaceous inclusions and small quartzite inclusions. The inside surface is very smooth. The outside is possibly burnished and decorated with a grid pattern of vertical and horizontal lines, possibly corded. The fragment measures 34.2 x 20.5 x 7.3mm and weighs 5.39g. Lorraine Mepham, Wessex Archaeology, comments 'I don't think it's either Roman or Saxon [in date] .... I reckon it's something in that Early Bronze Age range. The fabric looks a …

Fragment of body sherd from a pottery Bronze Age funerary urn or storage vessel. The exterior is decorated with parallel bands of impressed double twisted cord with no gaps between them, and is juxtaposed against another set of parallel bands of impressed cord at about a 45 degree angle, in two fields. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior with some black patches of residue which are likely sooting. The c…

A fragment of a copper-alloy cauldron lug of possible Bronze Age date, possibly c. 1200-700 BC in date as suggested by the below arguments. It is also possible that this item dates to the Iron Age or later and this is also discussed below. The remaining fragment is a portion of one of the cauldron's handle loops, but this fragment has broken off from the larger vessel, now missing. The fragment is curved in profile, with three deeply grooved ridges on the outer surface, which have been indented along the centre, suggesting that another element abutted this area. The interior edge of t…

Fragment of a pottery body sherd from a large Bronze Age urn or food vessel. The exterior is undecorated so that dating within the 2nd millennium BC is difficult. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica.The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior. The curvature of the upper edge of the sherd suggests that the original diameter of the vessel would have been about 400 mm in diameter.

Six ceramic sherds, presumed from the same vessel.Prehistoric in date. The fabric is coarse material, dark brown at the core, reduced to pale to mid brown at the interior surface and variable at the surface between pale orange, pale grey, and grey-brown. The fabric contains an occasional sand temper, with rounded quartzite pebbles rare, and occasional angular black, iron-rich grits. Two of the sherds are rim fragment, showing an everted rim above an exterior ridge - this collared rim is consistent with food vessel forms of the Bronze Age period. Prehistoric (bronze Age) Dimensio…
