Remarks

Designated MAE1730--radiographed, XRF
Medium-sized LB jar, with a large spall taking up the inferior half of the exterior. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential stamp-impressed triangles, cut off by the spall so as the make it unclear if their complete shape is triangular or something else (they appear to extend inferiorly). The six triangular tips average 0.5 cm in width, are spaced on average 0.6 cm apart, and .02 cm deep. The exterior appears to have been burnished at some point, a high gloss, with significant amounts now covered with corrosion, patina. Evidence for coil-building is visible above the external shoulder, but the exterior is too smoothed to show it (3 potential coils slightly visible and detectble by touch on the interior, average 1.1 cm in width). Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface, while several circumferential rotational scratch marks ad striations are visible on the exterior. The exterior surface features extensive (70%) patches of pale yellow corrosion, with only 10% white corrosion on the interior. In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of fine sand are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
