Remarks

(Coded in Armenia in December but recoded in February) This is a rim to neck sherd of an indeteminate large vessel. The rim is hard to describe: It is flat on top, and it extends into the interior beyond the extent of the neck, and then arcs around and back to the neck. So there's a bulge on the interior. But the top is flat. Don't think I've seen anything else quite like it. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
