Description: | Pottery body sherd or possibly rim sherd, but the rim edge is damaged and incomplete, so it may be just an abraded edge. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and is orange on the exterior and orangey-brown on the interior of the sherd, with a mid-brown core. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
