A probable basesherd of a handmade ceramic vessel. The sherd is 10.29mm thick and weighs 18.1g. The sherd probably dates to the Bronze Age (c.-2150 BC to c.-800 BC). Like most other types of pottery, prehistoric pottery is dated using fabric type, form types, decoration and rim shapes. As little prehistoric pottery has been published from the Warwickshire area, the dating of this material is broad, relying on material published from surrounding areas such as the Cotswolds. The fabric is similar to that published as GR2 (fine grog/clay pellet with some leached shell) in McSloy …
