Description: | Pottery body sherd with possible rustication in the form of poorly formed incised chevrons running along the width of the exterior of the sherd. The sherd is 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 is orangey-brown on the exterior and on the interior of the sherd, where it is coarse and uneven, with a dark core. This gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).Anna Brindley in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates similarly haphazard chevrons on Grooved Ware vessels from Spong Hill in Norfolk, on page 140, Fig.14.2, Nos.16-17.
