Remarks

An unpolished LM cup, completely gray except for the exterior rim, which is Light Brown 7.5YR 6/3. The shoulder/base or shoulder/body transition is present on the sherd; it's just difficult to say exactly which one it is at this time. The decorative schema consists of a single circumferential incised line in the center of the shoulder. In addition to the coarse sand noted above, significant amounts of fine sand are also present in the fabric. Very high frequencies of coarse inclusions, often white, are visible perforating all surfaces. Limited amounts of obsidian and pyrite particles are visible in all surfaces. Breaks are smooth.
