Remarks

Most of the profile of an LB (II-III) bowl. This sherd consists of 5 sub-fragments and one winding area of gypsum filler. It is most likely derived from the same vessel as Ar/Ab.AB3.13.C.11. The decorative schema consists of 11 circumferential, incised lines, probably applied by comb. Lines 1, 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 superior rim surface is moderately abraded, probably from use, and the exterior body is significantly abraded and chipped, particularly the upper body. The exterior surface is mottled with Brown 7.5YR 5/2. Cored band 2 color should be Light Gray GY1 7/N. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface. In addition to the fine sand noted above, limited amounts of medium sand particles are also present in the fabric. Breaks are smooth.
