Remarks

An unusual handle sherd that has a rhomboid/rectilinear character to it. Dimensions measured here are those of the handle. But the length of the entire sherd is 49.76, the width is 56.96, and the thickness is 32.92. Interior surface is too degraded to describe. Also not clear where the handle joins onto the vessel. Sent for INAA in Feb 2007.
