A NOTE ON THE PETROLOGY OF SOME PREHISTORIC CERAMIC MATERIAL FROM IRBY, WIRRAL, MERSEYSIDE

Author(s): D F Williams

Thin sectioning was undertaken on Iron Age clay moulds and briquetage. It was found that the moulds consisted of two basic fabrics, one containing fragments of weathered igneous rock and the other highly vesicular. Both of these could be locally made. The fabric of the briquetage suggests a source in the Middlewich-Nantwich area of Cheshire.
