Remarks

Not enough of the neck of this large storage vessel is preserved to determine it's profile. The top of the rim is flat, and projects outward, forming a sort of triangle. In addition to the coarse sand inclusions, there is also a pebble protruding from one side of the sherd and generally a very course sand throughout the fabric. Some white encrustations on the interior and exterior. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
