Neolithic Pottery from Badshot Long-Barrow by Andy B on Saturday, 15 May 2021

Neolithic Pottery from Badshot Long-Barrow. The sherd
here illustrated was found on the surface near the Badshot Long-
Barrow, Farnham, in September, 1939, a short distance from
cutting B3 (see plan : Farnham volume, p. 134).
The sherd is of hard pottery with medium flint backing, the
paste being dark grey and the exterior surface baked to a light
brick colour. The interior surface, baked a rich brown colour,
is smoothed, and through it flint grits protrude. The exterior surface shows traces of wear, but the fractured edges still exhibit an angularity which makes it improbable that the sherd has been
lying on the surface for long. It may perhaps have been lost from the excavation of the Barrow in 1936, but more probably
is to be laid at the door of one of the unreported depredations to which the unexcavated portions have since been subjected by local collectors
