Description: | Pottery rim sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior appears to have been deliberately rusticated with various impressions, but there are also depressions on the interior which may have been caused by the erosion of larger inclusions from the matrix. The rim tapers to a rounded apex. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and quartz and is dark brown throughout. This type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
