Remarks

A very light-colored LM shoulder, probably from a medium-sized jar. The decorative schema consists of a single circumferential band of cord pattern decoration, created by making oblique impressions in a band of applied clay. There is a lost of variability in the frequency of the impressions, but they are usually wider than 0.25cm. The exterior surface also features dense circumferential rotational striations as well as some deeper circumferential impressions superior and inferior to the cord pattern decoration. A tiny bit of Brown 7.5YR 4/2 mottling on the exterior surface. The entire superior third of the interior surface is colored Dark Grayish Brown 10YR 4/2 instead of the black. The interior surface is also 10% covered in spindly, dendritic white corrosion. Dense circumferential rotational striations are also visible on the interior surface. Besides the medium sand, moderate amounts of coarse and fine sand particles also present in the fabric. Breaks are hackly.
