Remarks

A rather spalled and pitted LM body sherd. The exterior is heavily abraded with multiple pits and spalls, while the interior features a single large and deep spall. The Exterior surface is heavily mottled with Dark Gray GY1 4/N and the interior surface features circumferential rotational striations. In addition to the medium sand noted above, coarse, very coarse, and fine sand are also present in the fabric. Sand inclusions and pyrite particles perforate both surfaces in high frequency. Many of the larger inclusions could be Gegharot granite. Breaks are rough.
