Remarks

This gray shoulder sherd has two relief bands, on each of which is an incised hatching pattern. Below (or above--orientation uncertain) one of the bands is an incised wavy line. NOTE: this sherd was also coded Alan Greene. His description was as follows: \\\"2 bands of oblique hatching and 1 of zig-zag decoration cover the exterior of this body sherd... The bands of oblique hatching are separated by less than 1cm of smoothed surface, but the second band of oblique hatching is place right against the band of zig-zag decoration... Oblique hatchmarks intersect in multiple locations, creating rombuses on occasion and sometimes bleeding into the space between registers...\\\" He coded it as an indeterminate body sherd.
