Remarks

Fragment from a small LB bowl or cup. A sizable fragment from a medium sized LB jar, it is b/s here. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential comb-incised lines--3 lines preserved in total. The lines average 0.225 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.15 cm apart. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point, with significant amounts of it now abraded off, particularly between each comb incision. The spaces between each line feature a line of missing circumferential polish/slip. Limited circumferential rotational striations are visible on the internal surface, while dark discoloration of the internal surface makes it hard to discern potential striations there. The external surface features limited amounts of light gray dendritic corrosion, particularly within the comb incisions. In addition to the coarse sand, limited frequencies of coarse and medium sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
