Remarks

There is a shallow furrow on this beige bowl sherd, just below the rim. The furrow seems to have been burnished, and a burnished line also marks the bottom of the furrow, where it transitions into the bulk of the body. The extant rim is too little to get an exact diameter, but it's probably between 22 and 24cm. Some lines of a wheel or other spinning/smoothing process can be seen on the interior. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
