So pleased and happy

First Neolithic Gabbro carinated bowl. I suppose the model for this would be the Windmill Hill bowl which is in the British Museum. And also the Carn Brea assemblage. The excavations took place in the 1970s under the direction of the late Roger Mercer. The report was published in 1981, in Kernow Hendyscans(Cornish Archaeology). There is only one small sherd of  a carinated bowls at Hembury. But there were a number found at Carn Brea,


 The illustrations are from theCarn Brea excavation report. on Cornish Archaeology Journal. I have included a bibliography in earlier posts which references this publication.  I  will eventually go and study this assemblage.
