Title
Early Iron Age to Late Iron Age: Ceramic Vessel
Description
English: A bodysherd of a handmade ceramic vessel.

The sherd is 10.09mm thick and weighs 11.5g. This sherd demonstrates a small amount of fingertip decoration.

The sherd probably dates to the Middle to Late Iron Age period (c.-500 BC to c.100 AD). Like most other types of pottery, prehistoric pottery is dated using fabric type, form types, decoration and rim shapes. With decoration, then the sherd could date to from the Early Iron Age (c.800 BC) if not earlier. 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 SH1 (Standard common fossil shell type) in McSloy 2006, p 38, dated to Middle to Late Iron Age (500 BC to 100 AD).

Sherd specific details:

Fabric type: frequent fossil shell type Sherd type: bodysherd Wall thickness: 10.09mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interior Hardness: medium Feel/Texture: smooth Decoration: fingertip Condition of sherds: slightly abraded
