Title |
Bronze Age: Ceramic Vessel |
||
Description |
English: A bodysherd/fragment of a handmade ceramic vessel.
The sherd is 9.98mm thick and weighs 10.1g. A ridge is demonstrated on the interior surface. 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) but without the fossil shell. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: Grog tempered Sherd type: bodysherd Wall thickness: 9.98mm Firing condition: unoxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interior Hardness: hard Feel/texture: smooth, slightly soapy Condition of sherds: slightly abraded Sherd/fragment photographed.
