Remarks

A rim-to-body fragment from a small EB bowl. The rim is only preserved over one third of the sherd. The decorative schema consists of a single register of circumferential geometric ornamentation over the entire rim and neck, and area 11.5mm tall. The designs include line and point triangles for the most part. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point, with significant amounts of it now abraded off. No polish visible on the interior surface. The exterior surface was 33 percent covered in light brown accretion, most of which was removed with acidic solution. In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of fine and coarse sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
