- 1960s: rejoined with shellac, and two large patches of infilling with white plaster.
- Description
- Pan with flat floor, flaring walls with flat inner face, and concave outer, slightly thicker rounded rim.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Coarse fabric may well be discolored by marine exposure, now pale red. Inclusions consistent of large sub-angular calcareous and quartz chunks, with frequent additional inclusions ranging from medium, mostly light to tiny bits. A small patch of original surface remains on rim, indicating fired to gray, if not discolored. Aegean fabric.
- Preservation comment
- Five sherds preserve ca. 30% of circumference of rim and <20% of floor to near center. Extensive, moderate to severe erosion and abrasion, so that almost all original light slip now gone.
