Grimston-Lyles Hill merchandise
Grimston-Lyles Hill Ware (recently CB-Pottery) is an early and middle Neolithic ceramic that was originally named after the site in North East England called "Hanging Grimston", a long hill in the former East Riding area of Yorkshire .
In 1974, Isobel Smith expanded the term after discovering vasculature across the British Isles to Lyles Hill in Northern Ireland . The vessels represent the earliest ceramic style of the British Neolithic .
The durable "Grimston-Lyles Hill Ware" is characterized by fine materials, good workmanship and kump-like shapes with a shoulder profile and an upturned edge. Recently, therefore, the term “carinated bowl” CB has been preferred, although there are also shoulderless specimens. All are (apart from the occasional finger corrugation) unadorned.
Alison Sheridan makes a distinction between the earliest manifestation of pottery, the "traditional CB", and the advancements, "modified (or evolved) CB". "Traditional CB" ceramics is significantly more consistent and spread over a wide area in the UK and Ireland, while "Modified CB" shows regional differences.
