Remarks

An LB jar fragment with short neck featuring a set of 5 incised circumferential lines on the shoulder, framed between a single register of seed impressions above and below the set of lines. Above there was only room to list 4 lines, but there are 5 total. These ornaments are placed in the general center of the shoulder. The exterior rim is missing portions at its center and left side. The exterior and interior surfaces, as well as the breaks, are intensely coated with white and yellow corrosion (40% of the exterior and 90% of the interior). This makes additional observations difficult, but there is enough open surface to record that both surfaces host intense circumferential rotational striations. Black coloration, perhaps a firing cloud, is visible on portions of the body, suggesting a possible black body, but the black rubs off somewhat, so is listed here as external carbon. In addition to fine sand, some coarse sand particles are also present in the fabric. Breaks are hackly.
