Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior has one oval depression where a large inclusion has eroded away from the matrix. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and additional inclusions not natural to the clay to make it a gabbroic admixture. The sherd is mid-brown on the exterior and interior of the sherd with a dark brown core. This type of gabbroic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
