Preservation comment
Five joining sherds (broken during handling in 2023) preserve entire rim and very small part of upper neck. Extensive, moderate erosion of surface, including pitting and flaking everywhere; worn breaks; extensive marine encrustation including vermetids (on inside). Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
