Description: | Two fragments of a pottery body sherd with eroded exterior and interior surfaces. The fabric has inclusions of 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 dark brown throughout with a mid-brown exterior. This type of gabbroic fabric has been identified as Grooved Ware, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
