Remarks

11.09.06 A rim to shoulder sherd of a very unusual bowl. First, it is very hard. Second, the colors of the surfaces are interesting and hard to measure, with the exterior having yellowish grays and medium browns and the interior having reds and reddish browns. The surfaces seem polished but also matte. The transitions between the shoulder neck and rim are very smooth. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
