Neolithic Pottery

Sherds from three different Middle Neolithic Peterborough Ware pots, all probably belonging to the Mortlake Ware sub-group, found in a pit at Westbourne, West Sussex, in the UK. The impressions in the neck of the central vessel appear to have been made with a blunt stick and the impressions encrusting the rim and body, with twisted cords; and those in the neck of the bottom right vessel, with a finger-tip, and encrusting the rim, with twisted cords. The scale is 5cm long. The pit and the pottery assemblage were published in my "Peterborough Ware from Westbourne" in "Sussex Archaelogical Collections 148" (2010), available from Reseachgate at www.researchgate.net/publication/273247893.
