Abingdon goods

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abingdon Ware is a Middle Neolithic (3900-3200 BC) English type of ceramic . It is after the pit work from Abingdon-on-Thames named, about 15 km south of Oxford located, and is found mainly in the upper Thames -Tal and in the central parts of England .

The ceramic shell is typically leaner . It has round bottoms and protruding, angular or T-shaped edges. The decoration consists of stamp patterns and incised lines. The top of the smoothly smoothed edge is often decorated with oblique parallel rows of comb strokes . The ceramic is consistently very brittle, which H. Case (1918–2009) attributes to post-deposition processes.
