Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite and has a dark brown interior and mid-brown exterior. The exterior surface has several impressions which may have been caused by the eroding away of larger inclusions, but there appears to be a chevron which may be part of a Grooved Ware pattern. The This type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).Anna Brindley in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates similarly decorated Grooved Ware vessels from Durrington Walls in Wiltshire on page 141, Fig.14.3, Nos.6 & 12.
