Abingdon ware is a Middle Neolithic (3900–3200 BC), decorated, round-bottomed pottery[1] found in an ancient causewayed enclosure[2] at Abingdon-on-Thames, whence the name, about 15 kilometres south of Oxford,[3] as well as in the upper Thames valley and central England.[1]
Abingdon ware belongs to the earliest pottery found in Great Britain and was discovered together with a handful of Peterborough, Grooved and Beaker ware as well as Bronze Age sherds.[2] It is a regional variation of the so-called Southern Decorated series.[1] The Abingdon Causewayed Enclosure has been dated to the 37th or 36th century BC.[2]
