Pottery body sherd that appears to be a section through the pot with a moulded ovoid lug on the exterior with a finger tip impression below it which may not have been deliberate. This thick sherd is made of granitic admixture clay, so the fabric has inclusions of granite and mica and additional inclusions such as quartz not natural to the clay to make it an admixture. The sherd is mid-brown on the exterior and interior of the sherd with dark brown patches. This type of granitic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC, and this sort of lug provides a l…

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior has one oval depression where a large inclusion has eroded away from the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and additional inclusions not natural to the clay to make it a gabbroic admixture. The sherd is mid-brown on the exterior and interior of the sherd with a dark brown core. This type of gabbroic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

A plain wall sherd of a pottery vessel. The outside is slightly orangey and glittering with mica and other small grits. Inside the fabric is black to the interior surface and full of angular grits of 0-5mm size. Most are fresh and clear. This looks like a granitic composition sherd. Others have been identified from nearby from The Bronze age.

A worn sherd with a reddish exterior which continues to about 3mm under the surface, where it becomes dark brown to the interior surface The clay composition has a base of small 1-2mm corroded white felspar with other small particles including angular black augite.This is likely a clay sourced from The Lizard area, Cornwall. Other larger grits have been added of up to 8mm; mostly vein quartz and corroded felspar. The decoration remaining is what is left of an informally laid herringbone pattern using pairs of twisted cords.This is circumferentially bordered by a pair of parallel incise…

A wall sherd of fragile pottery; slightly abraded on its exterior, but with a dense and well executed decoration. The pot is uncurved in the long direction so the oblique pattern orientation is chosen as likely on the complete vessel.The panel of decoration is bordered by 2 close parallel lines of twisted cord. This finishes a panel of twisted cords orientated at right-angles and numbering at least 15 The clay composition has a base of small 1-2mm corroded white felspar with other small particles including angular black augite.This is likely a clay sourced from The Lizard area, Cornwal…

A large plain wall sherd of pottery. The outside surface is orangey brown and smooth but for a network of fine cracks. There are sparkles of mica visible. Just inside, the fabric darkens slightly and maintains this colour to the inner surface. The clay composition has a base of small 1-2mm corroded white felspar with other small particles including angular black augite.This is likely a clay sourced from The Lizard area, Cornwall. Other larger grits have been added of up to 10mm; mostly uncorroded felspar. This is likely a Bronze age sherd. A similar one but from a base was found 3m awa…

Pottery base sherd of coarse granitic ware made of admixture clay with large inclusions of quartz and granite. The fabric is a mid-brown colour throughout and there is a fracture running diagonally through the exterior of the sherd, where an oval section has spalled out of the sherd, which adds to its fragility. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd made of a coarse fabric with an uneven exterior surface that has several depressions caused by the erosion of large inclusions out of the matrix or perhaps seed impressions. The fabric has fine inclusions of pale felspars and mica with some larger inclusions of quartz added in. The exterior of the sherd is a mid-brown and in the interior more orangey-brown. This type of admixture fabric is found in Bronze Age vessels dating from c.2100 -1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A pair of body sherds probably from Late Bronze Age hand made vessels (cf. Barrett 1980). They are characteristically flint tempered (up to 6.8mm) and an oxidised orange colour externally. The interior is reduced and mid-grey, with darker areas of possible sooting internally. Both sherds are irregular quadrilaterals in form; one sherd is far larger and heavier (39.6 by 35.7mm; 16.74g) than the other (3.30g; a combined weight is given below).

Pottery body sherd of hard-baked clay, perhaps part of a mould, so that the ceramic has been altered during heating. There are various marks and impressions on the interior of the sherd, but may have been part of the moulded decoration, but the detail is unclear. The fabric is fine with few visible inclusions and is dark grey throughout, where the vessel might have been exposed to naked flames. Bronze Age, c.2100-1150 BC.
