Remarks

The neck of this jar sherd is very distinctive. There's a slight, rounded ridge at the bottom of the neck and what appears to be an incised line just above that ridge. The rim is also unique. Although it is rounded on top, at the outside it comes to a point, on which a diagonal impressed design (element 2) of the rim sits. The sherd is heavily incrusted. There is a seed impression motif halfway down the shoulder (six impressions extant).
