A NOTE ON THE PETROLOGY OF SOME NEOLITHIC POTTERY FROM HELMAN TOR, LANLIVERY, CORNWALL
Author(s): D F Williams
Thirteen small sherds of Neolithic pottery were examined in thin section for an analysis of the fabrics involved.On the basis of the range of non-plastic inclusions present in the sherds a number of fabric divisions were made: (1) Gabbroic, (2) Ferruginous inclusions, (3) Quartzite, and (4) Tourmaline. It is probable that only the gabbroic sherds were imported from any great distance to the find-site.
