Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a large vessel, possibly an urn or large cooking vessel with a flat, slightly everted rim, undecorated with impressions of plant material on the external surface of the sherd.
The fabric is an orange-light brown colour throughout and contains inclusions of slate, felspar, grog and augite, which suggests that it might be gabbroic or made of clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard in Cornwall.
Without any diagnostic decoration, the sherd is difficult to date, but the form and fabric suggest that it is from a Bronze Age vessel. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2150
