Remarks

A rim-to-shoulder sherd of a small jar. Exterior color is particularly mottled making it difficult to measure Munsell. The interior color is also a mix of gray plus the color indicated above. Fabric inclusions include what seem to be bits of crushed rock(grit?), in addition to the medium sand. Exterior surface is smoothed but there are various irregularities in the surface caused by what seem to be accidental line incisions in the clay. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
