Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior has depressions which may have been caused by the erosion of larger inclusions from the matrix rather than being deliberate impressions. The interior has lost much of its surface as sections of the sherd have broken off. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite and is mid-brown on the exterior and orange on the interior of the sherd, especially where the internal layers of the sherd are exposed. This type of fabric is seen in Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
