Remarks

Most of the profile of an LB (II-III) shouldered bowl. This sherd consists of 3 sub-fragments and is most likely derived from the same vessel as Ar/Ab.AB3.13.C.12. The decorative schema consists of 11 circumferential, incised lines, probably applied by comb. Lines 2, 3, and 11 (superiorly to inferiorly) are 50% wider than the average 0.2cm line width. They begin just inferior to the exterior rim. There is also a noticeable vertical burnish on the vessel body, it is a product of the polishing process and not necessarily its own "decoration." The exterior surface is mottled with Brown 7.5YR 4/2 and Dark Gray GY1 4/N and displays limited perforation by sand inclusions on the exterior body. The interior surface is uniform in color, with 10% coverage by crusty yellow corrosion. The superior rim surface is significantly abraded, but not chipped, probably from use. That surface is also polished, but not the interior rim surface. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface. Besides the fine sand, there is a limited amount of medium sand particles in the fabric. These prevent the inclusions from being well sorted. Breaks are rough.
