Title
Beaker period Beaker body sherd (drawing)
Description
English: Pottery body sherd from an S-profile beaker decorated with a single twisted cord impressed in a chevron pattern on the beaker's exterior surface. The single twisted cord is more unusual on beakers, which are often comb impressed, but locally it is part of a tradition that continues throughout the Bronze Age, and is commonly seen on Trevisker ware.

The fabric is a uniform light orange throughout with a slightly reduced interior surface and is likely to be made of gabbroic clay from the Lizard as it has light felspar, dark augite and quartzite inclusions.

Beaker period c.2500-1700 cal BC, but current dating for Beakers from Cornwall is c.2100-1700 cal BC (Andy Jones pers comm).

Clarke (1970) illustrates a similar example on page 319, No.316 which has been imported from Germany.

Local parallels with the same decoration include a sherd from Gwithian, soon to be published and in the Royal Institution of Cornwall's collections, from Site GM XV, Box 7, Bag 50 from Cutting 10, Layer 7.
