Title
Bronze Age rim sherd (drawing)
Description
English: Pottery rim sherd with a flat, flanged rim and decorated with five vertical thumbnail impressions on the exterior of the body, running along the width of the sherd, between the rim and the shoulder. 
      The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an orangey red colour. The interior surface of the sherd has been wiped, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. 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 body sherd, found at the same site, (CORN-F06751) and both are probably from the same vessel, which would have been a large cooking vessel. The flattened and flanged rim and its decoration make it 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 109, Fig.40, No.4, which date it to the Middle Bronze Age c.1500-1150.
