Remarks

Fragment from a small LM bowl or cup. The rim is rolled, but more on the right side of the sherd, looking from the exterior, than on the left, where the roll/fold is non-existent. There is no visible decorative schema. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential comb-incised lines--9 lines in total. The lines average 0.25 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.3 cm apart. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the internal surface and circumferential wipe marks or slab-rolling impressions on the interior. The exterior surface features limited amounts of light gray dendritic concretion of its entire area, while the internal surface is only half coated. In addition to the fine sand, significant frequencies of coarse and medium sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
