Remarks

This is a rim to handle sherd of a large indeterminate vessel with a fragmentary 'nub' on the top where the curving shaft of the handle connects to the rim, which is straight-rounded. The fragment is being sent for INAA. The form of this nubbed handle is 'morphic' as part of comparative project (see WSE.02.C.02, WSE.03.C.013, WSI.16.C.01); Abramova and Medvedskaya have interpreted these protrusions to be animal horns.
