Title |
Bronze Age body sherd (drawing) |
||
Description |
English: Pottery body sherd decorated with three impressed circular indentations, in clusters, running horizontally along the width of the sherd.
The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an light brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the interior surface of the sherd, and there is the impression of the textile used to wipe the interior, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. The fabric looks, from microscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, and slate inclusions, which is typical of the clay used during the Bronze Age in Cornwall. There are two other body sherds found with identical decoration in pattern, depth and diameter, which are probably all from the same vessel. These were passed on to the landowner before they could be recorded, but the recorder does have drawings of them.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 110, Fig.41, No.8, which date it to the Middle Bronze Age c.1500-1150. |
