Remarks

An undecorated LB body sherd, save for the abraded polish, which seems to have been applied in a semi-linear pattern. Too much has abraded to count it as an ornament. Circumferential rotational striations are visible on both surfaces. Besides the medium sand fine and coarse sand are also present in the fabric. There is intense sandwiching in the fabric, and slight delamination of the core bands, perhaps caused by the same thermal activities. Moderate frequencies of sand and pyrite perforations on the exterior surface and limited frequencies on the interior. Breaks are smooth.
