Remarks

A shoulder sherd from a medium-sized LB vessel, probably a jar. There may be some of the body portion present at the inferior sherd break. The decorative schema consists of a single circumferential zigzag ornament, positioned above, 12 incised comb lines (average width 0.075cm), and a single circumferential furrow (0.44cm wide). Both surfaces are moderately abraded and scratched, featuring limited and widely dispersed frequencies of light yellowish brown corrosion. The exterior was originally polished, but much of that polished has abraded away. The interior surface features rotational striations and several organic burnouts or spalls. There is limited core delamination between the inside and outside portions of the vessel wall. There are moderate frequencies of medium and coarse sand inclusions are present in the fabric in addition to the fine sand. Moderate frequencies of sand inclusions and pyrite particles perforate all surfaces. Breaks are rough.
