Description: | Pottery body sherd with depressions on the exterior and interior where larger inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of mica, pale felspars and dark augite which suggests it is gabbroic, made from clay weathered over the gabbro stone on the Lizard in Cornwall. The colour of the fabric is a mid-brown throughout. This type of gabbroic fabric has been identified as Grooved Ware, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
