Remarks

This sherd likely affiliates to a medium sized LB bowl, but too little of the rim is preserved to make broader generalizations about form. In fact, not enough circumference of the rim is preserved for measuring diameter or diameter percent--but it's probably less than 30cm in diameter. 50% of the exterior rim is preserved (or more) and barely any of the interior rim. The clay has been slightly bent out from the rest of the vessel to form the rim and there is no neck, so that the rim transitions immediately to a modest shoulder. Approximately .05cm below the rim, the shoulder features poorly preserved polish that covers, patchily, all the inferior shoulder areas. There are no clear polish ornaments or incised decorations visible, but both are possible as lines below the bent rim may be abraded lines. In addition to the medium sand noted above, coarse and fine sand are also present in the fabric in significant amounts. Faint rotational striations are visible on the interior and exterior surfaces. The exterior surface is highly abraded. Pyrite is visible in both surfaces as well as limiting popping. Breaks are rough.
