Description: | Pottery body sherd of a deep bowl, thicker at its top end than its bottom end, and slightly curved in profile. The sherd is a light orangey-brown colour throughout and the exterior has been black-coated, and some sooting also remains. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard.Similar pottery has been found at many sites in Penwith, such as Porthmeor, Porth Godrevy and Reawla which date from the Romano-British period, from the 3rd to the 4th century AD.Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example from Trethurgy on page 122, Fig.59, No.124.
