Designated MAE1750--radiographed, XRF
Shoulder fragment from a large LM vessel. The decorative schema consists of three circumferential relief bands with a single circumferential wavy line positioned between the second and third (most inferior) bands. The relief bands average 0.85 cm tall and are spaced 0.76 cm apart on average. The wavy line averages 0.24 cm in width and has an average period of 2.7 cm. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the exterior surface, while the interior features circumferential fabric impressions across its entire surface, averaging 0.119 in width and spaced 0.33 cm apart. These could also be rilling marks. The exterior surface is highly abraded and features high frequencies of perforating inclusions. Limited frequencies are visible on the interior surface, which also features several small pits or spalls. In addition to the coarse sand, moderate frequencies of medium sand are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
