Remarks

Most of a small neck-jar or flask, missing only its rim. The decorative schema consists of a set of vertical polish lines that proceed from the lower neck to the mid-shoulder, where they meet 2-4 circumferential incised lines, inconsistently applied by comb so that they skew and cross. The features a similar set of vertical polish lines, which terminate at the base, although they are less well preserved, or perhaps were never completely applied. The vertical polish lines are spaced on average 0.6 cm apart. The exterior appears to have been highly polished at some point. In addition to the generally square shaped shoulder hole, there are several other large, roughly circular chips or spalls around the shoulder/body transition, ranging between 0.75 and 2 cm in diameter. The exterior is 20% mottled with 2.5 YR 5/4 Reddish Brown. The chips, spalls, and breaks are not large or complete enough to evaluate the cores and fabric. The external surface features significant amounts of light gray dendritic corrosion, while the interior distribution is difficult to observe, but significant. Breaks are smooth.
