'decomissioning', that was the word I was looking for!
I don't know if you know or can access the info, but is the grooved ware restricted to pits at henge sites?


It varies but not always pits e.g. Woodhenge :post holes D-F ( not A-C ) also below bank and in ditch .
Mt Pleasant :stone hole and ditch Durrington: in pits but also midden and other contexts .Ballynahatty : pits ,Machrie Moor: refuse pit . Balfarg :ditch
Sarn -Y Bryn -Caled: pit . Another factor is that the greater the number of posts the more likely GW is to be associated , as opposed to Peterborough ware .


Brilliant, thank you.
It makes me wonder if complete pots were found in one context more than others, how many were associated with burials, and whether the woodhenge post holes you mentioned (D-F) had any other specific feature absent from A-C.
I could go on asking questions for hours, your answers always bring to mind more possibilities, but hardly fair, I should go and search this stuff out myself. Its just finding the time thats the issue!
