Conservation
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.
