Description: | Quadruple Ridged, Decoration, cord impressed Large sherd
"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 is a part of a large and finely made cordoned urn with four spaced cordons around the neck. The rim is bevelled and decorated both inside and outside. The collar is decorated with a cord-impressed pattern of large and small lozenges and crosses in alternating sectors defined by vertical lines. The urn was found at Artamford, New Deer, Aberdeenshire within a known urn cemetery, but no finds are specifically recorded with it. This is a finely made urn and it is unusual in having four cordons."
