Remarks

Very difficult to assign a concrete form to this shoulder fragment, but it likely represents some form of biconical, restricted vessel. The geometric decoration consists of several interconected zig-zag sprials, each ornament filled with oblique hatching. A narrow furrow runs under the zig-zag register. There are clear horizontal burnishing marks present on the lower portion, below the design. A slight depression on the upper edge of the ornamentation suggests the beginning of the neck. Negligable corrosion on the surfaces. Breaks are rough. Rotational striations evident on the interior surface. Design register on the exterior surface is signficantly more gray than reddish-brown in color (which covers the rest of the exterior surface).
