Title |
Bronze Age body sherd (drawing) |
||
Description |
English: Pottery body sherd decorated with four vertical thumbnail impressions on the exterior of the body, running horizontally along the width of the sherd, possibly between the handle (missing) and the shoulder. Below these impressions are two deep oblique gashes or slashes which run off the edge of the sherd and might be part of chevrons.
The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an orangey red colour. The exterior and interior surfaces of the sherd have been wiped, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. There are also marks on the interior from smoothing by hand or thumbing. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, quartz and slate inclusions, which is typical for pottery of this period in Cornwall.This is very similar to another rim sherd, found at the same site, (CORN-F027F1) and both are probably from the same vessel, which would have been a large cooking vessel. The style of the decoration makes this sherd comparable to Trevisker ware sherds excavated from the Bronze Age settlement site at Trethellan Farm, Newquay, reported on in Cornish Archaeology No.30 (1991), page 115, Fig.46, No.36, which date it to the Middle Bronze Age c.1500-1150. |
