Remarks

A shoulder and body sherd from a medium-sized EB, mostly body with a bit of the inferior shoulder. The decorative schema covers the entire sherd and consists two registers of circumferential geometric ornaments bounded and separated by single circumferential incised lines. Between these lines, perpendicular and oblique linear decorations fill the register spaces. The registers measure 21.32mm tall on the inferior shoulder. Inferior to these two registers are several morphic pieces of ornamentation. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface. The exterior surface features highly limited amounts of white dendritic accretion, while the interior surface is 40% covered in light brown accretion. In addition to the medium sand, limited frequencies of fine and coarse sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Both surfaces are moderately perforated by mica inclusions. Breaks are rough.
