Description |
English: A fragile sherd of pottery with recent breaks on the edges and wear progressing over the exterior and perhaps removing some decoration, but certainly exposing grits.The decoration comprises oblquely but similarly orientated small finger tip impressions into the wet clay. A central impression is quite well preserved with another next to it broken through and a parallel one broken along the nail, on the edge of the pot sherd.The same finger tip was likely used and the nail is short and well looked after. Piggott, 1954 illustrates a vessel from Woodhenge with similar decoration with this density of finger-tipping below the cordon and towards the base. The outer surface was smoothed with few grits showing before decorating. The fabric is red on the outside and this extends deeply under the surface with a dark brown body to the inside which is rough and has a black, sooted surface. It appears consistent with firing upside down in a bonfire.The grits are mostly white and of 1-2mm size and likely the partly corroded felspar found in the Gabbroic clays from the Lizard area in Cornwall. The vessel was nearly straight sided at least on this part of the profile and had a diameter of about 0.2m at this point.Grooved ware is the likely pottery type from a find spot where this type was recorded by Henrietta Quinnell.Reference: Piggott, S.1954.Neolithic Cultures of the British Isles. page 342, fig 58,1. |
