Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a jar with an upright rim, slightly flattened on the top.
The fabric is a uniform dark brown colour throughout, with a reduced exterior and interior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture but is now covered in patches of carbonised remains on both the exterior and interior of the sherd.
Iron Age in form, with its upright rim.
Christie (1978) illustrates a similar example from Carn Euny on page 414, Fig.57, No.8, 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 |
