Remarks

Designated MAE170--radiographed, XRF, SAXS. An undecorated fragment from a medium sized LB jar. Rim look like it was bent down from above onto a flat tool (inferior rim surface slightly carved out / flattened ). Rim indent is very slight, approx 2mm wide. There are extensive cracks on all surfaces, likely from destruction fire. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point, with the majority of it now abraded off. The exterior is 25% mottled with brown--too awkward to munsell. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface, while horizontal polish marks are visible on the exterior. In addition to the fine sand, significant amounts of medium and coarse sand are visible in the fabric an surfaces. Both surfaces feature limited amounts of pyrite pops and perforating inclusions. Breaks are rough.
