Title |
Bronze Age Vessel |
||
Description |
English: A large carinated body sherd of probable Early to Middle Bronze Age date. The sherd measures 47.6mm in length by 29mm in width and has a body thickness of 10-15mm. It weighs 35.4g. The oxidised exterior surface ranges in colour from orange to buff, the interior surface is buff/brown and the core is a reduced mid to dark grey. The sherd most likely formed part of a larger vessel such as a jar or urn. There is no visible decoration or surface treatment, but the fabric, size and shape of the vessel share similarities with carinated vessels from the Early to Middle Bronze Age.
The fabric is shell tempered. The background matrix contains abundant well-sorted, angular crushed shell framents measuring 0.5mm and smaller. There are also common larger shell fragments over 1mm in size. The fabric also contains sparse (7%) sub-rounded moderately sorted agrillaceous material measuring between 0.5-2mm. These are most likely to be grog inclusions. These inclusions are similar in colour to the clay matrix. On the exterior surface of the sherd a sparse (3-5%) amount of black organic inclusions are visible. These are moderately well-sorted and probably represent burnt shell. The clay itself is very fine.
