Title |
Bronze Age: Ceramic Vessel |
||
Description |
English: A basesherd of a handmade ceramic vessel.
The sherd is 6.75mm thick and weighs 6.8g. The sherd probably dates to the Bronze Age Period (-2150 BC to -800 BC). Like most other types of pottery, prehistoric pottery is dated using fabric type, form types, decoration and rim shapes. As little prehistoric pottery has been published from the Warwickshire area, the dating of this material is broad, relying on material published from surrounding areas such as the Cotswolds. The 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) Sherd specific details: Fabric type: Grog and fossil shell (occasionally leached) tempered Sherd type: basesherd Base type: FLT (Flat) Diameter of base: unable to be determined due to size of sherd. Wall thickness:6.75mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interior Hardness: hard Feel/texture: smooth, slightly soapy Condition of sherds: slightly abraded Sherd/fragment photographed.
