Remarks

This sherd is likely a group D member, but I can\'t find particular D features. Its profile suggests a bowl form of some sort. The furrow decorations are likely the result of comb decorating, leaving only two extant lines on the shoulder portion of the fragment. 2cm below the second furrow, on the body, begins the external polish which darkens the body color somewhat. Other fragments of polish are visible higher up, by abrasion has destroyed most of them. Interestingly, there is an internal color lightening about 7mm above the external polish/darkening. A lot of mica is visible in both surfaces, but no real popping. Grit and medium sand also visible in the smooth breaks. 10% black corrosion evident on both surfaces. Slips are barely visible in the core. Rotational striations are visible on both surfaces.
