Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There are natural depressions on the exterior of the sherd from the erosion of large inclusions from the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd with a black residue. This gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
