Title
Bronze Age Vessel Sherd
Description
English: A sherd of hand-made pottery of Middle Bronze Age date. The coarse textured sherd has a slight oxidisied buff to brown exterior and a reduced dark grey/brown interior. Its thickness suggests it is part of a vessel base. The clay matrix contains a moderate to common (25-30%) amount of very well-sorted sub-rounded quartz grains measuring less than 0.25mm. There are also rare amounts of sub-rounded and well-sorted red and black iron oxides measuring less than 0.5mm. The fabric has been tempered with a common amount (30%) of sub-angular moderately-sorted calcined flint measuring between 0.5mm and 7mm. The exterior of the sherd contains a very small area with a much higher density of flints which might suggest it was sat or rolled amongst a patch of pre-prepared crushed flints.
