Remarks

12.10.12 This is a morphic handle part, like those of type WSG.11.CO.01 and others . Once again, hard to reconstruct precise orientation. But with its black burnished surface, seems like a metal imitation. Notably, in the same operation as the two fragments of the canelured vessel, WSAD.09.C.02 and WSAD.14.C.04. Does it belong to a animal handled amphora with vertical fluting? Did not take internal colors because don't want to fragment. Good candidate for INAA.
