Cordoned Urns[AR] A type of middle bronze age pottery found mainly in the British Isles during the second millenium B.C., probably derived from the collared urns. Cordoned urns are generally tall, straight-sided vessels with a flat base, slightly flaring body, and a simple rim. Their name derives from the fact that the outer face is decorated with applied cordons which often define regions of the surface which are ornamented with incised decoration.
Cordoned Urn #1:
"This is a cordoned urn with two low mouldings or cordons. The collar area and internal bevelled rim are decorated with comb-impression cross-hatching." (University of Aberdeen)
Cordoned Urn #1 with contents:
"The urn contained cremated human bone, a bead-like toggle and several clay beads or pinheads."
Cordoned Urn #2:
This is a very large cordoned urn. It has a barrel-shaped body with two subdued cordons, around the belly and below the collar area. The decoration is cord-impressed, and on the collar comprises a pattern of interlocking triangles filled with diagonal, V-shaped or lattice hatch. The rim is decorated both inside and out with a ladder pattern of verticals enclosed by lines. (University of Aberdeen)
Note: Cordoned urns are associated with burial, and were used to hold cremated remains, but have also been found at domestic sites.
