has long tang (IX, Fig. 5): poker-like butts (IX, Fig. 2): knives
with curved tangs: 'toggle' pins: all bronze (but a silver toggle-pin has been found) (IX, Figs. 1,8). Pottery. All wheel-made but rough: light red or buff faced of reddish clay: decoration rare and only in simple zigzags or waves in reddish-brown pigment: long-stemmed vases of 'champagne-glass' form are common (VIII, Fig. 4): rarely a creamy slip is applied to the red clay. (b) Later period. Cist-graves apart from houses, in cemeteries. Implements. Long narrow celts often riveted: spear-heads, leaf-shaped or triangular (IX, Figs. 3, 6, 10): axe-heads with socket, swelling blade and curved cutting edge: pins both 'toggle' and unpierced, straight and bent over. Pottery. Wheel-made, well potted, and commonly _ring-burnished_, the process beginning at the base of a vase and climbing spirally: little painted decoration: face usually dusky brown over pinkish body clay, but red and yellow-white faced wares also found: shapes, mostly bowls, open and half closed: ring feet, but no handles to vases: only occasionally lug-ears (IX, Figs. 1,2,3,5,6). Rims well turned over belong to the latest period, in which elaborate ring-burnishing is common. Beads, &c. |
