Title
Bronze Age: Architectural fragment
Description
English: A large fragment of a possible ceramic building material. The fragment is an irregular shaped fragment of fired clay which is possibly fired remnants of wattle and daub walls (being the daub part). The reasons for this are the organic impressions and a shallow U shaped sectioned hollows; these may correspond with the wattle hurdles in a wall.

The fragment is 23.02mm thick and weighs 56.7g. It is 67.32mm long and 49.92mm wide.

The fragment consists of a fabric is similar to that published as GR2 (fine grog/clay pellet with some leached shell) in McSloy 2007, p 25, dated to the Bronze Age (c.2150 BC to c.800 BC) but without the fossil shell.

Fabric type: Grog, frequent mica inclusions.
