Remarks

This sherd was sent to Quality Thin Section for experimental SEM analysis. On the exterior of this reddish buff sherd there are traces of a red slip (or is it paint?). There are traces of circular marks on the interior, perhaps from a wheel. The vessel was probably restricted, but it's hard to know for sure from just this body sherd. I believe there are other pieces of this vessel in Yerevan.
