| Abstract: |
This paper provides an overview of Bronze Age Trevisker pottery. It is based largely on data from developer-funded investigations which have produced large numbers of radiocarbon determinations over the last decade. The ceramic style originates in Cornwall around the beginning of the second millennium BC. Most forms and decorative styles remain much the same throughout the Early and the Middle Bronze Ages, with differences in the archaeological record largely due to selection of different forms/styles for deposition in barrows and on settlement sites. In Cornwall there is extensive use of gabbroic Lizard clay. Recent work has indicated movement of this clay in the Middle Bronze Age and mixture with non-gabbroic materials. In Cornwall a late stage of the ceramic style been identified centred on the eleventh century BC. |
