Remarks

Likely a shoulder fragment from a long necked pitcher or a cup. This fragment consists of two mending fragments. While the inclusions are dominated by fine sand, there is a noticeable amount of medium sand in the fabric. The ornamentation on this vessel resembles T2E.213.C.E in the municipal museum, again supporting it as a pitcher fragment. A series of at least 6 incised lines is followed by a wider furrow right at the shoulder/body break. Below the furrow is an annular polish band approximately 4mm wide, followed 1.3cm below by a polish band at least 1.39cm wide. Other polish remnants are visible around the incised lines, but they are heavily abraded. The fabric is compact and well fired, thin-walled. There is black and white corrosion covering up to 30% of both surfaces. Breaks are smooth and covered with pinkish corrosion. No mica popping, but mica visible in the fabric.
