A PETROLOGICAL NOTE ON SOME IRON AGE SHERDS FROM SITES IN WINCHESTER, HAMPSHIRE
Author(s): D F Williams
A small group of Iron Age sherds from Winchester were thin sectioned and found to have a fabric characterized by moderately frequent inclusions of glauconitic pellets. This seems to point to the Upper Greensand as the most likely source, and as such, a non-logical origin. In recent years the writer has noted a group of sandy glauconitic Iron Age pottery from a number of other Hampshire sites. It is not clear at present if this represents the output from a single production site or many centres.
