Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Undoubtedly most Neolithic pottery was made and used locally, but for Hembury "f" wares the examination of thin sections indicates only one possible source, the gabbro outcrops of the Lizard Head in Cornwall. This rock weathers to a clay which thin sections show to be mineralogically identical with the pottery. The Hembury "f" wares, together with similar pottery recognised long ago at Maiden Castle, Windmill Hill and Robin Hood's Ball, were previously thought to originate near Dartmoor, but the S Cornish source now indicated involves distribution over nearly 200 miles. The pottery is restricted typologically to the fine, thin-walled, usually burnished wares, in two main forms - simple open bowls (often with trumpet lugs) and carinated bowls. These look like specialist products in any case, especially when compared with, for example, the crude local copies of trumpet lugs. The distribution is similar to that of the early Cornish axes and presumably used the same routes. The date of this pottery could be as early as 3300-3000 BC. | |||||||||
