Remarks

A nearly complete handled cup from the chamber in T04, likely attributable to the Iron 2 period. The handle is broken off completely and not recovered, while there are also small chips to the rim and base. The decorative schema consists of a complete set of circumferential vertical flutes that begin at the neck/shoulder transition and proceed to the inferior edge of the body. The flutes average 0.55 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.2 cm apart. The exterior is 50% mottled with 10YR 4/4 Dark Yellowish Brown. Open breaks/chips are too small and incomplete for the purposes of recording core bands. The external surface features significant amounts of light gray dendritic corrosion, while the interior is almost completed covered. In addition to the very fine sand, some silt inclusions are also visible in the chips. The external surface is moderately covered in mica pops, with lower frequencies observable on the internal surface. Chips are smooth.
