Remarks

7/31/06 This is a chunky bowl sherd with an inward turning rounded rim. There is no neck, and instead the shoulder blends directly into the rim. The interior surface has only traces of burnishing on it, but the Munsell color measured is of these traces. The exterior surface is also polished. The decorative furrow essentially separates the shoulder from the body. The rim of the sherd is too small to get the diameter, but it's between 20 and 26 cm.
