Original description
The finds from excavations at Ardnave, Islay carried out in 1979 - 80 under the direction of Dr J N G Ritchie and Mr H G Welfare. Pottery. Rimsherd with rounded section, angle uncertain, the lower edge everted as if broken from a shoulder. Decorated by shell-edge impressions in two slanting rows inside, and probably in chevrons outside. Heavily gritted but fairly hard fabric with a thick slip inside and outside, black burnished outer surface, the inside burnt pink-buff. Unstratified. Ritchie, J N G, and Welfare, H G; PSAS, 113 (1983), pp 302 - 366, figs 8 - 10.
