A NOTE ON THE PETROLOGY OF SOME LATE BRONZE AGE AND MIDDLE IRON AGE POTTERY FROM THE 1944 EXCAVATIONS AT HEATHROW, MIDDX.

Author(s): D F Williams

A detailed fabric examination by thin section was made on some late Bronze Age and Middle Iron Age pottery from Heathrow. The sherds were divided into three broad fabric groups based on the range of non-plastic inclusions present: (1) Flint/Quartz, (2) Vegetable impressions/Flint/Quartzand (3), Quartz. At this stage there seems to be no reason to suspect anything other than a fairly local source for the pottery.
