Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior of the sherd has a moulded or applied cordon in a wavy line running across the width of the sherd. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and interior of the sherd. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric and 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 a similarly decorated Grooved Ware vessel from Lion Point, Clacton in Essex, on page 140, Fig.14.2, No.15.
