Title
Iron Age Southwest Decorated rim sherd (interior)
Description
English: Pottery rim sherd with an upright rim and an internal groove defining rim, suggesting that it is from a Southwest Decorated ware jar.

The fabric is a uniform light brown colour throughout, with a reduced exterior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture and a few patches of carbonised material remain on the exterior. Iron Age in form, as it is well made and high fired.

Christie (1978) illustrates a similar example from Carn Euny on page 415, Fig.58, No.21, which is dated from the 3rd to the 1st century BC.
