Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has large inclusions of pale felspars and smaller inclusions of dark augite and mica, and additional inclusions not natural to the clay, such as quartzite, to make it an admixture. The sherd is orangey-brown in colour on the exterior and interior of the sherd and throughout the core. This type of gabbroic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
