Remarks

A small undecorated KA cup with a single handle--shaped like a grip handle, but to small to 'grip' and therefore listed as a pinch handle. The sherd consists of a 3 joined sub-fragments. The exterior and interior are highly polished, with dense circumferential polish marks, although the interior body is much more polished than the other interior surfaces. In fact, the interior rim, neck, and shoulder are a completely different color (10YR 5/2 grayish brown) than the very dark gray body. In addition to the very fine sand, small amounts of fine sand also present in the fabric. Breaks are hackly, no significant corrosion.
