Description: | Pottery body sherd with a deep groove which ends abruptly half way along the exterior of the sherd, suggesting it is later damage. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has fine inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and large inclusions of quartz, and is orangey-brown on the exterior and on the interior of the sherd, and throughout the core. This gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
