- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- So far as can be observed through the weathering: yellow, fired very pale brown at surface; soft, gritty fabric; smooth break with powdery texture(?); common, tiny, dark bits; uncommon, medium, angular and subangular brown or dark red inclusions; uncommon, small to medium, angular, lime chunks; uncommon, medium to large, poorly sorted, irregular voids at surface (lime exploding). Surface hard to assess but unslipped, possibly washed. Faint turning marks on exterior body.
- Preservation comment
- Two joining fragments preserve almost entire vessel but roughly 35% of neck and rim missing. Extensive, moderate abrasion, gouging, and pitting; worn breaks; scattered thick patches of marine growth, including rare vermetid casings. Weathering consistent with prolonged marine submersion.
