Remarks

Designated MAE112--radiographed, XRF, SAXS. This sherd likely belongs to a medium-sized LB storage vessel. It has a very short neck and an orifice much smaller than its maximum body width. The shoulder axis is particularly severe, almost perpendicular to the axis, but located just few degrees below the perpendicular. This is certainly a gray, not black ware. The interior surface has been coated with a 2 or 3mm slip, much of which has flaked off over time, revealing the enormous (granite?) very coarse sand inclusions in the fabric. Coarse and medium sand are also present in the fabric. Lots of visible mica in the sherd. The exterior surface exhibits linear markings, likely from some sort of motion as no polish seems to be have been present. The lines are also present on the bottom side of the rounded rim. There is one line or furrow on the shoulder, but it blends into the sherd very well and is not deeply pressed at all. There is very little corrosion on this sherd, although the rim area seems to be densely used of corroded on its top surface. Sherd fractures are rough and there is significant layering and separation visible in the walls. SAXS analysis conducted at ANL on 3/16/06. Radiograph analysis on 09/07.
