Remarks

This rim to shoulder sherd has poorly smoothed interior and exterior surfaces. The rim looks like it is rectangular from the outside (with only a slight outward protrusion) but curved outward from the inside. The top of the rectangular rim has an indentation towards the outside, rather than the inside of the rim. The exterior surface is abraded. The fabric has small specks of black stone inclusion (grit or obsidian?).
