Remarks

A typical gray-on-gray, neck-less LB jar, where the high shoulder meets the rolled rim directly. Very little of the shoulder is present on this sherd and no ornaments are present. The rim is "rolled," but not completely tucked under itself, more severely "bent." The superior rum surface is abraded from use and slightly shinier than its surroundings. Circumferential rotational striations are visible on all surfaces and numerous inclusion particles can be seen perforating all surfaces. In addition to the fine sand noted above, moderate amounts of coarse sand also present in the fabric. Very well fired vessel, compact fabric. Breaks are rough.
