Designated MAE1729--radiographed, XRF
A sizable fragment from a small LB bowl, almost 25% of an almost complete profile. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential comb-incised lines--7 lines in total, beginning on the exterior rim. The lines average 0.2 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.7 cm apart. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point, with significant amounts of it now abraded off, particularly between each comb incision. The spaces between each line feature a line of missing circumferential polish/slip. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface, while several circumferential rotational scratch marks ad striations are visible superior and inferior to the exterior comb incisions. The internal and external surfaces are 60% and 30% covered in dense pale yellow, dendritic corrosion, however, preventing extensive evaluation of surfaces features. In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of coarse sand are visible in the fabric. The external surface is features very small amounts of small pyrite particles. Breaks are rough.
