Extract

Ever since Martin's definition of Breton tumulus burials in 1900 the discrete distribution of biconical handled vases or vases à anses has been well known (Martin 1900). In 1928 details of similar vessels in the Channel Isles became readily available through Kendrick's survey of the Bailiwick of Guernsey (1928). In Southern Britain, however, the nineteenth century finds at Portland G2 and Winterbourne Stoke G5 have reained unconfirmed and consequently discussions on Armorico-Wessex connections in the Early Bronze Age have treated the question of cross-Channel ceramic exchange with notable circumspection.
