A sherd of 'Trevisker Ware' or Grooved Ware pottery dating from the Neolithic - Middle Bronze Age (c.1600-1200 BC). The sherd is sub-rectangular in form and has been broken into two pieces. The fabric is gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feldspar, dark augite and mica. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more burnt exterior suggesting it has been fired at a high temperature.  Measurements: length 37.16mm, width 27.36mm, thickness 10.79mm, weight 10.94 grams. It is similar to databas…

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.

Pottery body sherd of admixture fabric, decorated with a rough chevron of imressed rectangles on the exterior of the sherd, suggesting that this could be Trevisker Ware, dating from the Middle Bronze Age. The pottery is orange on the exterior and light brown on the interior with some inclusions which look like pale felspars and mica-schists. Nowakowski (1991) illustrates a similar example from Trethellan, Newquay, on page 115, Fig.46, No.38, which is dated from the Middle Bronze Age, c.1500-1200 BC.

Pottery body sherd decorated with a single impressed twisted cord in two lines, with one line running horizontally, parallel to the rim, and the other obliquely at about a 45 degree angle. The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an orangey brown colour. The interior surface of the sherd has been wiped, and there is the impression of the textile used on the surface, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, and grey augite incl…
