Remarks

This gray rim sherd is too small to measure its diameter or percentage, but the vessel is quite large--over 16cm. The decoration on the top of the rim is unique. There's a wavy line motif on the top of the rectangular part of the rim which seems to have been incised by a three-pronged comb. Then another series of combed lines is on the body of the sherd, just below the rim.
