Remarks

This is red-polished, thin walled fragment of a vessel that might be zoomorphic - the sherd has part of a base extending up the body and on one fragmentary side there is a slight bump/protusion beginning, with what might be an etching in relief - suggesting potentially an animal hoof. The sherd is the same as WSN.09.CO.01 = WSN.02.CO.01 (4 sheds all together). Will be sent for INAA. These four sherds belong to the same vessel as Ar/Ts.WSN.02.CO.01.

Note that this sherd was once registered as Ar/Ts.WSN.09.CO.01, but I changed it to C in order to code it fully in the pottery database.

Same type of vessel as the zoomorphic vessel of WSH. Collected from the top of the southwest wall, toward the southern end of locus 09.
