Remarks

This sherd could be a tray, bread mold, or even a crude bowl. The entire sherd shows crimping evidence from hand production. The semi-spherical nature of the fragment also makes it difficult to characterize. There is not evidence of firing or oven use. Very coarse sand grains are present in the fabric as well. The internal and external surfaces feature extruded inclusions and mica pops. Breaks are rough.
