Extract

A substantial series of pottery was submitted to me from both the Plumpton Plain sites. Its examination has emphasized the distinction of date between them. It will appear that Site A belongs to the earlier part of the Late Bronze Age, from perhaps about 1000 B.C., whereas Site B cannot be dated before about 750 B.C., and covers the transition to the Early Iron Age in the period approximately centred on 500 B.C.

This is usually considered the standard ‘barrel’ type, but it is only a slight elaboration of the simpler constricted-neck form, which is itself of course, present in the ‘Deverel-Rimbury’ sepulchral series; e.g., loc. cit., pl. 11, 2, 6.

Examples of the old native cord-ornament surviving on contemporary Late Bronze Age ware were found in the Giants' Hills long-barrow ditch, and the same and even probably vestigial beaker ornament at the Mildenhall site (to be published in Antiq. Journ. XVI). Playden, (Antiq. Journ. XV, 151 ff., 467 ff.Google Scholar; see p. 44 above) shows the same thing in finger-nail ornament (ib. 163, fig. 6, A 1; cf. 469–70).
