A rim fragment from a middle Neolithic food vessel or bowl made from a dark grey to black fabric in the Peterborough Ware tradition, dating to c3500-2500BC. The rim, which had an original diameter of approximately 200mm, is rounded, everted and decorated with slashed pairs of lines. Below this are three bands of corded decoration running around the circumference. The fabric is sandy with well sorted inclusions including infrequent sub angular calcined flint clasts.

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…

57 sherds weighing 1.676kg were collected from the lower filling of a pit, the base of which was 3 feet below the surface. All are Earlier Neolithic and comprise rim and body sherds from at least three vessels. The sherds are fairly large and well preserved though several shown signs of having been re-fired, probably burnt in a domestic hearth before burial. The assemblage includes rims from three vessels, all undecorated, round-based bowls typical of the Earlier Neolithic Plain Bowl tradition. One vessel has a rolled rim whilst the other two are direct rounded rims. Body sherds su…

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 …

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…

A rim sherd from a large urn. Unfortunately the outer lip is destroyed so its original form is unknown. However there is the beginning of a cordon like the 2 below these so it may be similar or more projecting. Cordons are often found on Iron Age pottery and a few Trevisker Bronze Age urns have cordons under the rim. Cornish Archaeological Journal 30, page 119, fig 50 has this design and it is in The Royal Cornwall Museum with oblique downward running platted cords as 2 sherds, from that site(TRURI: 1991.78a 11-12,4.

A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges.The fabric has fine cracks on drying, but has otherwise good surface condition with a smoothed wiped exterior and few exposed grits. When the clay was still wet a sharp v-section line was incised circumferentially and it has overlapped itself and doubled on this sherd. A longer finger nail may have convieniently produced this decoration. A diagonal line incision has run up and to the right from the horizontal line and has dictated the edge of the oblique left break of the pot sherd. At the bottom the break has follwed a parall…

A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges and wear progressing over the exterior and perhaps removing some decoration, but certainly exposing grits.The decoration comprises oblquely but similarly orientated small finger tip impressions into the wet clay. A central impression is quite well preserved with another next to it broken through and a parallel one broken along the nail, on the edge of the pot sherd.The same finger tip was likely used and the nail is short and well looked after. Piggott, 1954 illustrates a vessel from Woodhenge with similar decoration with this…

The same one was likely used and the nail is short and well looked after. Piggott, 1954 illustrates a vessel from Woodhenge with similar decoration with this density of finger-tipping above the cordon and towards the rim. The outer surface was smoothed with few grits showing before decorating. The fabric is red on the outside and this extends just under the surface wi…

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 …

A rim fragment of a wheel-made ceramic vessel. The rim appears to be a wide flange with the wall of the vessel forming a ‘¬’ shape. The fabric is quite hard and is a an off-white colour throughout. There are occasional dark grey/black coloured hard grits within the fabric. The sherd is slightly abraded and weighs 10.3g. The sherd probably dates to the Medieval period.

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.
