Description: | Decorated neck and collar (impressed cord)
"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 Secondary Series Form I/IV collared urn has a plain, slightly convex body with a subdued cordon around the belly, and a small base. The base of the collar is overhanging and the rim bevelled. It is decorated with a paired, twisted cord impressed lattice on the collar and small diagonals on the rim. The urn was found at Craigiebank Farm, Largie, Aberdeenshire. It contained a cremation."
