Remarks

Shoulder fragment, likely from a small LM jar, with an interesting two-level, slab-derived fabric. The decorative schema consists of a single circumferential wavy line created by pinching relief or applique. There are not enough repetitions in the pattern to estimate an average frequency for the wavy line--the one complete wave is 2.8cm in length. The inferior exterior surface features several severe, deep scratches. The entire exterior is mottled with Pinkish Gray 7.5YR 6/2 and features medium frequency circumferential rotational striations. The interior surface is 15% covered in white corrosion and hosts deeper circumferential rotational impressions than the exterior. Besides the fine sand, limited frequencies of coarse sand particles are also present in the fabric. Breaks are smooth.
