Remarks

While the neck axis is listed here as conical, only part of the neck is preserved on this sherd, so it may be biconical. This sherd is rather heavily abraded, so that portions of the internal and external slip have been completely removed, revealing grit tempering underneath. But in the break, only medium sand interspersed with coarse sand was visible. Perhaps a god candidate for DR. The shoulder decoration consists of 5 parallel, incised lines or furrows, likely created with a comb instrument. The body begins directly below them. This sherd most probably derives from a small restricted LB jar.
