Remarks

This is a nearly complete medium-sized pot, unfortunately missing the entirety of its rim as well as the shoulder, in places. The interior and exterior Munsell colors are not indicated above because both surfaces have a range of light to dark browns. On the exterior, the pot is a very dark brown, almost black, on its body and the lower part of the shoulder, while the upper part of the shoulder is a light tan, orangish brown on which polishing tracks are visible. The interior of the pot seems to have been smoothed with a vertical motion, because there are some verticle ridges, as though finger traces, visible in places on the shoulder. These horizontal polishing traces contrast with a series of vertical polishing tracks visible on the body. Although the rim is missing, if I had to estimate I'd say the total height of the pot is about 23 cm.
