Remarks

10.18.06 This is a shoulder sherd of a large indeterminate vessel. I've coded it for its incised decoration, which consists of a wide line running horizontally around the shoulder, with oblique hatches emanating from this line, above and below. The angle of the oblique hatches is opposite above and below the line, creating the appearance of successful arrows or angles. The exterior surface color is a number of dark browns.
