Remarks

Body fragment from a small of medium LB vessel. The decorative schema consists of vertical polish lines, likely begun on the inferior shoulder and possibly extending inferiorly to the base. They range in width from 1 to 0.2 cm and extend superiorly-inferiorly across the entire sherd. There is a clear lamination visible at the center of the body/core, as if two slabs were overlain during construction. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface, while two linear incisions, scratch or drop marks are visible on the exterior. Both surfaces feature limited amounts of light gray dendritic corrosion. In addition to the fine sand, significant frequencies of coarse and medium sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
