Description: | One bodysherd/fragment of a handmade ceramic vessel. The sherd is 11.42mm thick and weighs 3.6g. The sherd probably dates to the Middle to Late Iron Age period (c.-500 BC to c.100 AD). Like most other types of pottery, prehistoric pottery is dated using fabric type, form types, decoration and rim shapes. As little prehistoric pottery has been published from the Warwickshire area, the dating of this material is broad, relying on material published from surrounding areas such as the Cotswolds. The fabric is similar to that published as SH2 (sparse, coarse fossil shell 'variant') in McSloy 2006, p 38, dated to Middle to Late Iron Age (500 BC to 100 AD).Sherd specific details:Fabric type: sparse fossil shell typeVessel type: body sherdWall thickness: 11.42mmFiring condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, unoxidised interiorHardness: softFeel/Texture: smoothCondition of sherds: slightly abradedSherd/fragment not photographed.Reference: Coleman, L., Hancocks, A., and Watts, M. 2006 Excavations on the Wormington to Tirley Pipeline, 2000.
