Beschreibung
English: A rim sherd from a large urn. Unfortunately the outer lip is destroyed so its original form is unknown. However there is the beginning of a cordon like the 2 below these so it may be similar or more projecting. Cordons are often found on Iron Age pottery and a few Trevisker Bronze Age urns have cordons under the rim. Cornish Archaeological Journal 30, page 119, fig 50 has this design and it is in The Royal Cornwall Museum with oblique downward running platted cords as 2 sherds, from that site(TRURI: 1991.78a 11-12,4. Howevever the sherd described here has to be orientated upright with a pointed rim and this is more of a Neolithic trait.The clay composition has numerous small 1-2mm corroded white felspar with other small particles including angular black augite.This is likely gabbroic clay sourced from the Lizard area, Cornwall. Several larger grits of up to 8mm are included but they may have come with the clay rather than being a Bronze Age style admixture. Henrietta Quinnell has identified this sherd as Grooved Ware. It is from a pot of about 0.4metres diameter and is well fired so one of the more interesting Grooved ware finds from this area outlying a closely spaced group, including Grooved Ware and Bronze Age pottery, daub and broken in half granite quern and greenstone mortar.
