Description: | Pottery body sherd with a few dimples in the exterior of the sherd, which are most likely where larger inclusions have eroded out of the matrix. 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 orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, and through half of the core. This gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
