Remarks

A neck-to-body portion from a medium-sized EB vessel, of which only a portion of the neck ornamentation is preserved. The decorative schema consists of a circumferential register of geometric line and point decorations, bound inferiorly by a single circumferential incised line. The tallest preserved portion of the register measures 15mm tall, interrupted by the sherd break. Delamination in the sherd wall suggests slab building. There are several cracks at the interior surface of the n/s transition and the interior is simply smoothed, without an interior slip. The exterior surface features highly limited amounts of light brown accretion, and both surfaces show moderate frequencies of perforating inclusions. In addition to the fine sand, moderate frequencies of medium and coarse sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
