Title
Bronze Age Vessel Sherds
Description
English: Three body sherds of hand-made pottery of Middle Bronze Age date. The sherds have been fired an orangey brown oxidised colour on the exterior surfaces and a reduced grey black on the interior. The fabric is very hard with a slight soapy feel and laminated fractures. 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 sparse amount (10%) of sub-angular well-sorted calcined flint measuring between 1mm and 3mm.

Two of the sherds appear to have some form of decoration. One exhibits some faint horizontal finger grooves along its exterior and the other appears to have been decorated with flint/twig impressions. These are quite faint but there appear to be two rows forming part of a circular pattern.
