Remarks

12.11.12 This is three sherds of a large pithos. I haven't measured length and width because there's a unrepaired join (and the biggest fragment is too big for the calipers). The rim is two part outward, which is to say, triangular, with one point of the triangle on the top. Could also be described as outward pointed. The sherd is too thick to create a fresh fracture with the tools at my disposable now, so not measuring inclusions or sorting. There are only faint traces of polishing marks on the eroded surface of the sherd.
