Beacharra goods

The Beacharra Ware or Beacharra style is a style of early Neolithic ceramics defined by Thomas Hastie Bryce (1862–1946) , which is characterized by round-bottomed buckled wall shells.

The eponymous site , the megalithic tomb of Beacharra on Kintyre , was excavated in the 19th century and again in 1954 by Jack Scott.

distribution

This pottery occurs in the western parts of Scotland and in Ulster.

Beacharra, Kintyre

Typology

Stuart Piggott divided the Beacharra goods into three groups:

A) undecorated sack-shaped bowls
B) Decorated articulated wall bowls with an edge diameter smaller than the diameter at the edge with incised or fluted ornaments (arch, line and U-shaped)
C) small bowls with indented string ornaments.

Corcoran would like to assign Beachara C to the Irish sandhill style . De Valera wanted to summarize Beacharra B with the Lyles Hill ware as "Neolithic shouldered bowls". The comparable early Neolithic pottery in Ireland is now mostly summarized as Western Neolithic ware .
