Remarks

12.14.12 several sherds of a black burnished bowl with relief lobes encircling the body. The lobes are rendered through pressure on the interior surfaces, and then further defined with a linear or pointed tool, much as WSAC2.27.C.01. Approximately 6-7 lobes are extent (will be come clear once restored), and the average about 25mm in width. Have not fragmented for interior bands and inclusions because more of the vessel may be found in the remaining quarter of room WSAC. However, I will take a very small fragment for INAA. The vessel is comparatively "coarse", heavy, and hastily produced, it would appear, compared to the fine, thin-walled black burnished vessels with vertical fluting of WSAD.14.C.04 and WSAC3.16.C.100. (Originally I had coded this as a closed vessel, but after restoration, Ruben judged it to be a bowl, like the metal phiale with lobes.)
