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. The colour of the fabric is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, with black residue and a dark brown core. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
