Description: | Pottery base sherd with part of the foot ring from the base of a bowl, possibly a cordoned ware bowl dating from the Late Iron Age.
The fabric is a uniform orange to light brown colour throughout, with an oxidised exterior and reduced interior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture.
Iron Age in form, as it is well made and high fired.
Christie (1978) illustrates a similar example from Carn Euny on page 415, Fig.58, No.14, which is dated from the 3rd to the 1st century BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
