Remarks

LM shoulder/body fragment. The decorative schema consists of the lowest four registers of a set of circumferential, comb-applied, incised linear ornaments and what appears to be a single circumferential zigzag decoration following immediately inferiorly. Not even a complete zigzag is preserved on the sherd, so this may simply be a sloppy fine comb-line. All of the ornamentation is positioned on the lower shoulder. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on all surfaces. The sherd registered a very soft hardness (2), not sure why this is. The fabric is homogeneous enough to ALMOST be labeled "well" sorted inclusions. Besides the fine sand, moderate amounts of medium sand inclusions are also present. There are numerous, tiny pyrite inclusions visible in the exterior surface. Breaks are rough.
