Description: | Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic admixture clay with various linear scratches which appear to be later damage. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and additional large inclusions such as quartz not natural to the clay to make it an admixture. The colour is dark brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of gabbroic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
