Remarks

A neck-shoulder fragment form a large EB vessel. The decorative schema consists of at least three registers of geometric ornaments on the superior shoulder portion bounded on both sides by incised circumferential lines. The initial register of short lines measures 12mm in height, followed by a combination of lines and rhombuses 23mm in height followed by what appears to be a repeat of the short lines measuring 10mm at its greatest preservation, cut off by the sherd break. Some slight relief suggests that the entire set may sit on a raised belt. Dense circumferential rotational striations or horizontal burnishing marks, highly abraded are visible on the neck portion of the interior surface. The exterior surface features highly limited amounts of light gray dendritic accretion, particularly on the inferior-most portion of the sherd, the superior shoulder portion. In addition to the fine sand, limited frequencies of medium and coarse sand are visible in the fabric. The external surface is exhibits moderate frequencies of very small perforating mica inclusions. Breaks are rough.
