Remarks

Designated MAE230--radiographed, XRF, SAXS. Fragment from a medium sized, "neckless" LM pot. The decorative schema consists of a single application of circumferential comb-incised lines--9 lines in total. The lines average 0.14 cm in width and are spaced on average 0.2 cm apart. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point, with significant amounts of it now abraded off, particularly within each comb incision. The spaces between each line feature a line of circumferential polish/slip. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface, while several circumferential striations are visible superior and inferior to the exterior comb incisions. The superior rim surface features extensive abrasions, chips, wear, discoloration, and light brown corrosion. In addition to the fine sand, significant frequencies of medium, coarse, and very coarse sand are visible in the fabric. Both surfaces are moderately covered in pyrite pops and limited perforating inclusions. Breaks are rough.
