Remarks

Shoulder sherd of large ceramic vessel of diameter of ~35cm. 2 registers of decoration sit prominently in the longitudinal center of sherd. Superior register consists of 1 layer of zig-zag, or lightning motif, inscribed latitudinally. Center register consists of 11 raised lines running latitudinally, likely created by furrowing using a stylus-like tool. Bottom two raised lines are spaced closer together relative to the spacing of other adjacent lines. Inferior register consists of elongated pits ~7mm long and ~2mm deep, separated by ~9mm, that would have run latitudinally around the shoulder, parallel to the other two registers.
