Remarks

Body sherd from a large LB storage jar body. Likely from the same vessel as Ar/Ab.AB4.02.C.08, 9, and 10. The sherd features high amounts of "wiping" or textile impressions, oriented circumferentially on the upper portion and upper left to lower right on the lower portion. Interior surface rotational striations are largely obliterated. In addition to the coarse sand particles mentioned above, medium sand, very coarse sand, and grit are also visible in the fabric and in surface perforations in moderate amounts. Moderate amounts of pyrite are also visible in both surfaces, no popping. 3 or 4 visible surface burnouts from organic material. There is significant delamination visible between core bands 1 and 2, suggesting a layering, sequential formation technique. No visible corrosion. Breaks are hackly.
