Early Bronze Age pottery cinerary urn

Early Bronze Age A Small Vase Urn which contained cremated human remains (indeterminate age and sex) dated to 2027-1886 cal BC (94% probability: SUERC-82563) It is a thin walled urn, Bipartite in shape, with an elevated rim with concave internal bevel and a fairly straight inward-sloping neck terminating in a distinct shoulder. Below that, the belly slopes markedly inwards towards what would have been a narrow base. Just under a quarter of the pot is present, the edges are abraded. Decorated with impressions of loosely twisted cord, arranged as a running zig-zag around the neck. Its upper triangles infilled with sloped lines. At the bottom of the neck there is a single horizontal line, and a further two just below the shoulder.
