- Conservation
- 1960s: roughly 30% of one side filled with gray plaster and then entire face apparently sanded or ground down so that infilled portions and original vessel wall are flush.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Yellow brown fabric, fired slightly more orange at surface? Somewhat soft, slightly gritty fabric; smooth to vaguely granular break, with sandy texture; uncommon, well sorted, small, subrounded and angular black inclusions; rare red and white (calcareous?) bits.
- Preservation comment
- One large fragment preserves most of amphora but missing lower body and toe. Extensive abrasion, pitting, and gouging; very worn edges. Weathering consistent with long submersion in marine environment.
