Title
Grooved Ware
Description
English: An upright, pointed rim sherd. The exterior has parallel horizontal incisions running between the breaks. The interior surface has a deeper incision apparently running circumferentialy in a spiral and terminating after one turn on this sherd, raising a cordon in the unhardened material. It was found in a group of Trevisker(Bronze Age) sherds eroding out of a 'hut platform' half way down a slope to a spring, overlooking St. Michael's Mount at Halwyn Farm. Nearby an Early Neolithic sherd(CORN-C79472) was found amongst late Iron Age pottery in ploughsoil. It may be that through tradition or just because they are better places in the landscape, that revisiting and pit or ditch deposit occurs; preserving fragile sherds for the modern plough to disturb.Less than a kilometre away is a Grooved Ware site of half a dozen findspot groups at Clodgy Moor. Fabric contains small white corroded felspar grits and is likely made from gabbroic clay obtained from The Lizard, Cornwall. Anna Brindley illustrates a Grooved ware pot from Lion point, Clacton with internal grooved cordons on page 140, fig 14.2, 21.
