Just looking at that Amble beaker (again)- very light in colour isn't it? The carboniferous fireclays on Amble beach near where that was found are also a very light grey, almost white in colour.
Were the Beaker People using our carboniferous fireclay to make their pots???
The Amble fireclay would be a better colour match than the glaciation clays that's for sure.
I'll photograph the fireclays next time I'm down the beach.
