Remarks

A shoulder fragment from a large LB storage jar with a very compact and dense fabric, although larger very coarse sand inclusions in visible on the internal surface. There internal surface is highly abraded, leaving the original slipped surface present on only 10% of the vessel. This makes measuring thickness very difficult. It could be a result of the Gegharot fires, but there is not any significant burning evidence. The exterior surface is covered in mica pops and 20% white corrosion. There is one additional press tool furrow after the last decoration band. Rotational striations are present on both surfaces. Breaks are rough.
