Remarks

An undecorated, short-necked LM jar, with highly abraded and rough surfaces. This vessel could be "hand-made," as rotational striations are visible in very limited amounts and only on the interior. Intense pitting/abrasion from the exterior neck over the rim to the interior has invited much corrosion, but left the form essentially intact. 20% of the interior and exterior surfaces is covered with pale yellow corrosion. The breaks are 100% covered with the same. Besides the medium sand, significant frequencies of fine sand and limited coarse sand are also present in the fabric. Moderate frequencies of pyrite and pyrite poppings are visible in all surfaces. Breaks are rough.
