	Grooved ware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grooved ware is the name given to a pottery style of the British Neolithic.
		Grooved ware pots excavated at Balfarg in Fife have been chemically analysed to determine their contents.
		Since many Grooved ware pots have been found at henge sites and in burials it is possible that they may have had a ritual purpose as well as a functional one.

	Orkneyjar - Neolithic Unstan Ware and Grooved Ware
		Shallow, round bottomed, and with decoration around the rim, Unstan Ware came to be associated with the early Neolithic structures and stalled cairns in Orkney, such as the Knap o' Howar.
		Grooved Ware, however, with its flat bottom and intricate decoration of scored grooves, was more common in the larger, and more recent, settlements, such as Skara Brae and Barnhouse.
		The Grooved Ware people buried their dead in increasingly larger, and more monumental, cairns such as Maeshowe.

		Papers by Julian Thomas, on the contexts in which Grooved Ware is found, and by Andrew Jones and Colin Richards, on ways of approaching the study of this pottery, dropped out while six new contributions on a variety of topics were added (by Edwards and Bradley; Gibson; Brassil and Gibson; Simpson; Brindley and Garwood).
		The question of how Grooved Ware is defined, and whether it constitutes a ‘tradition’ (however that may be defined), is not a straightforward matter, and more could have been made of this point.
		The degree to which the hypothetical southward spread of Grooved Ware use from Orkney is associated with the spread of practices relating to henges and circles of timber and stone is indeed a vexed and complex question, and other entire volumes have been dedicated to such issues.

		Skara Brae is a large stone-built Neolithic settlement, located in the Bay of Skaill on the west coast of mainland Orkney (off northern Scotland).
		The houses were not sunk into the ground but were built into mounds of pre-existing rubbish known as "middens".
		Unusually, no Maes Howe type tombs have been found on Rousay and although there are a large number of Orkney-Cromarty chambered cairns, these were built by Unstan Ware people.

		Such motifs are however common to the peoples of Brittany at the time and it has been suggested that at least two stages of Stonehenge were built under continental influence.

		While it is entirely possible that both the Megalithic and Sumerian peoples could have estimated the circumference of the Earth using simple geometry and careful observation, we do not believe that they could have calculated the planet’s mass or accurately assessed the dimensions of the Moon and the Sun.
		Having observed and understood this remarkable relationship these people also recognized that the value 366 was important to the Earth because that was the number of rotations it had on its axis in the course of one solar orbit.
		But these people, whoever they were, also understood the mass of the Earth in great detail and realized that the ‘366ness’ of our planet goes even deeper.
