Description: | A rimsherd of a handmade ceramic vessel. The sherd is 10.53mm thick and weighs 7.9g. The sherd probably dates to the Bronze Age Period (-2150 BC to -800 BC). 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 GR2 (fine grog/clay pellet with some leached shell) in McSloy 2007, p 25, dated to the Bronze Age (c.2150 BC to c.800 BC)Sherd specific details:Fabric type: Grog and fossil shell (occasionally leached) temperedSherd type: rimsherdRim type: FPE (Flattened rim, pinched out externallyRim diameter: 16 cm% of Rim present: 6%Wall thickness: 10.53mmFiring condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interiorHardness: hardFeel/texture: smooth, slightly soapyCondition of sherds: slightly abradedSherd/fragment photographed.Reference: Hart, J. and Alexander, M. 2007 Prehistoric, Romano-British and Medieval Remains at Blenheim Farm, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire: Excavations in 2003.
