Remarks

An LM rim sherd from a short-necked jar. A single furrow is visible just below the n/s break, created by the removal of material. The superior rim surface (exterior and interior) is significantly chipped, so that the rim thickness measurement is rather inaccurate. Limited light yellowish brown corrosion is visible on 10% of the exterior surface and on much of the rim chips. Both surfaces feature high frequency rotational striations. In addition to the coarse sand inclusions noted above, significant amounts of medium and very coarse sand are also present in the fabric. High frequencies of all these inclusions types are visible perforating the interior surface (as well as pyrite particles). The exterior is perforated at much more limited frequencies. Fabric is rather compact and the rigidity of the form suggests a possible mold-oriented formation method. Breaks are rough.
