Remarks

A sizable shoulder and body fragment from a large EB jar, it is b/s here, and the most superior portion of the sherd appears to begin just below the neck. The decorative schema consists of a complex schema of rhombus and line geometric ornaments positioned on the upper shoulder to the left of a single (large) spiral. These cover the vast majority of the sherd. The exterior may have been polished, but if so little evidence of that remains. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface. The exterior surface features limited amounts of light gray dendritic corrosion, while the interior was completely covered, cleared by acidic solution. Core band 2 should be listed as should be Weak Red 2.5YR 4/2, not 5/2. In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of fine and coarse sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Significant frequencies of mica inclusions are visible perforating both surfaces. Breaks are rough.
