Period
Late Bronze Age / Поздней бронзы
Remarks

Good probability that this is a closed vessel due to the inward, convex indentation above the belt. The interior surface has a regular ribbed effect. The exterior decoration consists of multiple lines formed by a comb--perhaps a wave motif, though too small to tell. Pavel and Mickey disagreed on the dating of this sherd. Pavel feels it should be Late Bronze age, not early Yervandid. We have left it as early Yervandid since the overall context of WSA is early Yervandid. Changed to group D in May 2012.
