Remarks

10.25.06 A rim to shoulder sherd of a jug. Notable for the decoration on the shoulder, which consists of a series of vertical lines, each about a centimeter long. But these lines are in no apparent pattern. In some cases there are two parallel lines, in another in single vertical line, in another a triangle formed by two lines. These marks might be symbols of something, but it's not at all clear what. The rim is two part with rounded edges.
