MLVCW - medieval Lark Valley Coarseware
Fine to medium sandy, very densely packed sand and common mica, very occasional calcareous inclusions and coarser quartz.
TS sample descriptions (Patrick Quinn): Distinctly bimodal inclusions made up of relatively sparse coarse and medium rounded quartz, polycrystalline quartz and chert temper and abundant, well-packed more angular silt-sized intrinsic inclusions of quartz, muscovite mica and rare glauconite. Non-vitrified, non-calcareous poorly oxidised to reduced clay matrix. Abundant meso-elongate drying voids.
Example from Rougham.
