Description: | Pottery body sherd with an incised line across the top edge of the exterior of the sherd. This sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite and is dark brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This gabbroic fabric and type of decoration are seen on local Bronze Age vessels, from the Trevisker Ware tradition, dating from c.1800-1200 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).Nowakowski (1991) illustrates examples of linear decoration on Trevisker Ware vessels from Trethellan, Newquay on page 117, Fig.48, Nos.43 & 44, which are dated from c.1500-1200 BC.
