Designated MAE1741--radiographed, XRF
A sizable fragment from a small LB pot, it is r/b here, almost a complete profile. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential comb-incised lines—at least 10 lines in total. The lines average 0.16 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.14 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. Both surfaces of the neck and rim feature limited amounts of pale yellow gray concretion, particularly on the superior-most portion of the sherd (rim). In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of coarse and fine sand particles are visible in the fabric. Both surfaces feature high frequencies of perforating inclusions, including two rather large (>1mm wide) exterior surface voids. Breaks are hackley.
