1960s: fine white plaster painted pale gray applied to one end of sherd.
Description
Dish with flaring low walls and ring foot. Wall and rim formed by convex lower band separated by concave upper band by distinct offset. Above upper band is a short lip itself marked off by distinct interior groove. There is a wide concentric groove on floor just inside of wall. Outer wall below beaded lip is rounded above carination to lower portion. Ring foot is near vertical on outer face and has concave inner face that transitions smoothly to underside of floor (only a small portion of this underside is preserved inside base).
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Where visible despite weathering, typical fabric, firing, and surface.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves ca. 15-20% of rim and base, with much of profile. Extensive, moderate to severe erosion and abrasion with rare scratching and gouging; slightly worn breaks; wide patches of gray discoloration. Weathering consistent with long submersion in marine environment.
