A body sherd from a ceramic vessel, possibly of grooved ware, dating to the Late Neolithic period c. 3000-2350BC. Description: Fine, black sandy fabric with small shiny (mica?) inclusions. The core and interior surface is the same colour as the exterior - very dark grey. The sherd is decorated with incised, linear angular decoration in a regular chevron pattern. Measurements: 32.65mm height, 27.77mm width, 5.9mm thickness. 6.05g in weight. Discussion: Grooved ware is rare in Kent, and this is the only example on the database from the County. However, similar examples h…

Pottery sherd with fine incised pairs of parallel oblique lines within vertical linear borders, also consisting of two parallel lines. The pairs of oblique lines, which are at about a 45 degree angle, are divided by a central pair of vertical lines, so that they appear as a chevron or herringbone pattern when looked at as a whole. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and is orangey-brown on the exterior and dark brown on the interior of the sherd, with some …

A ceramic rim sherd of Neolithic date made from a soft black fabric which contains a large flint grit. The rim is slightly out-turned and measures 33.83mm long with a thickness of 6.4mm. The diameter of the vessel appears to have been in the order of c120mm. External decoration comprises an upper band of hoof-shaped impressions (3-4 are visible) perhaps made using the tip of a bone and a lower band of diagonal whipped cord impressions (2 are visible). The sherd belongs to the Peterborough Ware tradition, c3500-2500BC.

An upright, pointed rim sherd. The exterior has parallel horizontal incisions running between the breaks. The interior surface has a deeper incision apparently running circumferentialy in a spiral and terminating after one turn on this sherd, raising a cordon in the unhardened material. It was found in a group of Trevisker (Bronze Age) sherds eroding out of a 'hut platform' half way down a slope to a spring, overlooking St. Michael's Mount at Halwyn Farm. Nearby an Early Neolithic sherd (CORN-C79472) was found amongst late Iron Age pottery in ploughsoil. It may be that through traditi…

Pottery body sherd of thin well-made clay with sparse inclusions of quartz. Any other inclusions are too fine to see with the naked eye, apart from tiny fragments of mica. The fabric is a mid-brown colour throughout the sherd. This type of fabric is seen in Early Neolithic vessels, dating from c.4500-2900 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd with smooth exterior and eroded uneven interior. There are large angular depressions on the exterior of the sherd which have been left behind by inclusions that have eroded out of the matrix. The fabric is compact with fine inclusions of mica and felspar and larger inclusions of dark quartz or dark augite, and is a mid to dark brown reduced colour throughout with an oxidised exterior. This is likely to be Early Neolithic c.4500-2900 BC and compares well to the fabric of 463.7 (CORN-C94E82), a sherd with a trumpet lug, and 463.8 (CORN-0D3622) which were found nearby …

Pottery rim sherd with narrowed rim tapering to a point at its apex. There are oval depressions on the interior and exterior of the sherd which have been left behind by inclusions that have eroded out of the matrix. The fabric is compact with fine inclusions such as mica, felspar and quartz and is a mid to dark brown reduced colour throughout. This is likely to be Early Neolithic c.4500-2900 BC and compares well to the fabric of 463.7 (CORN-C94E82), a sherd with a trumpet lug, which was found nearby (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

A sherd of ceramic vessel. Probably a sherd of Late Neolithic, possibly Peterborough Ware, or from a Bronze age food vessel. The sherd is to small to determine a more accurate identification as a a greater length of the vessel rim and neck profile would be needed in order to provide a date based on stylistic characteristics. The sherd weighs 13.18g and is 10.42mm thick. The incomplete height of the vessel is 35.49mm. Use of a rim chart suggests that the vessel originally had a diameter of c.100mm and that only c.10% of the rim circumference survives. The outer surface of the sherd is …

A large sherd of coarse pottery; possibly a fragment of a Neolithic urn. It is 62.1mm long, 49.8mm wide and 16.2mm thick. It weighs 26.82gm. The fabric is light brown on the surface and darker in the core. It is friable and cracked. It is soft and has an irregular texture. It is vesicular and also contains infrequent large and poorly sorted orange and black inclusions (stone and charcoal?). There is also a small sherd of the same fabric which fits with the first. The vessel fragments were found in association with two small fragments of bone which are abraded and delicate and which ar…

Pottery body sherd with abraded and possibly unfinished trumpet lug attached. The fabric is a uniform mid brown throughout with a reduced exterior and is compact with fine inclusions of mica, pale felspar, and large quartzite inclusions. Neolithic in form. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example from Carn Brea of a trumpet lug from a rounded bowl which has only been finely perforated on page 163, Fig.66, No.P10, which is dated to the Early Neolithic period, c.3900-3300 BC.
