Remarks

11.14.06 A rim sherd of a large indeterminate storage vessel. The three part rim is unique. Starting from a point at the top of the rim, the first part slants gently down and outward; the second part slants downward and slightly inward; the third part angles sharply back inward to the neck. The rim thus has a boxy appearance. There are five sherds of this vessel, but only three are joined. One was given for INAA. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
