Description: | Double ridged Was discovered accompanying a 'battle axe' interment
"Urns were the dominant type of pottery used in burials, usually of a cremated body, during the early Bronze Age, about 1450-1250BC. They are found both in cemeteries and as secondary burials in barrows, often with the base uppermost, and may be accompanied by other grave goods. An urn is tall with a flat, often very narrow base, and may be decorated. There are two separate urn traditions, collared and cordoned urns. This large, double-ridged cordoned urn has a tapering convex body and a small base. The cordoned neck and collar are the predominant part of the vessel. The rim is steeply bevelled. It has no decoration. The urn was found at Strichen, Aberdeenshire with a skeleton and a sandstone battle-axe, which had been broken."
