FIRST SIGHT This is Grooved Ware, a type of hand-made pottery unique to neolithic Britain around 3000–2200BC – the time of henges and, in Orkney, stone-built villages such as the Ness of Brodgar, where this sherd was excavated. Once named Rinyo-Clacton Ware, after sites in Orkney and Essex, the style’s ubiquity – inset is a sherd from Ringlemere, Kent – has yet to be explained. Width 12.5cm. Photography Antonia Thomas
It is our heritage that defines us, that tells the story, that makes our country look the way it does, that provides the context in which we can be enterprising, creative, studious or even downright lazy.
