Remarks

A short-necked LM rim sherd with just a tiny amount of the shoulder preserved. The indented rim features a .5cm-diameter chip on its superior-lateral surface. The decorative schema consists of a single circumferential register of what appear to be nail-shaped incisions positioned on the r/s transition. Half of two impressions are preserved, so it is very difficult to conclusively describe the ornaments. Thin deposits of light brown corrosion cover 80% of all surfaces (100% on the breaks). It's possible to determine colors through this corrosion, but not possible to determine is the exterior was originally polished. In addition to the medium sand, moderate frequencies of coarse and fine sand are also present in fabric. Moderate frequencies of pyrite particles are visible in all surfaces. Breaks are rough.
