Undecorated rim sherd from a large, neck-less LM storage jar, likely pithos. The rim shape is not evident enough to be listed as "rolled." but it COULD be--some space is visible under in the fabric under the exterior rim, but it's impossible to say without instrumental analysis. While the exterior surface is intact, the interior surface is rather (60%) eroded. This means the measurement of thickness is not exact, too thin. Chunks are also missing from the rim, at the right and left edges. The exterior surface features circumferential rotational striations and moderate cracking, crazing, while the interior surface is preserved only well enough to identify moderate crazing. Both surfaces also feature high frequencies of perforating coarse inclusions. In addition to the coarse sand mentioned above, medium sand is also present in the fabric in moderate amounts. Occasional grit particles can also be seen in the walls. Inclusions are often grayish white (Gegharot granite?). Pyrite is visible in the surfaces, but no popping. Breaks are rough.
