A NOTE ON THE PETROLOGY OF SOME MIDDLE BRONZE AGE POTTERY FROM EXCAVATIONS AT HEATREE, MANATON, DEVON
Author(s): D F Williams
Six small middle Bronze Age sherds were thin sectioned from Heatree, which lies on the granite of the Dartmoor Forest. All the samples, some with "Trevisker affinities", were expected to contain the local granite, but this did not prove to be the case. Three fabric groupings were made: (1) volcanic rock - suggesting an origin in the Permian rocks around Exeter, (2) greenstone - possibly from a source around the edges of Dartmoor, and (3) granite - presumably from a fairly local source.
