Description
Cup or small casserole. Short body with wide flaring lower wall and slightly convex upper wall. Short everted rim with plain, rounded lip that slopes inward. Probably regional product.
Fabric, firing, surface
2.5YR 5/6 (red); surface fired to gray (2.5YR 4/1). Slightly granular fabric, hard with vaguely splintery break, has small, subangular, white, opaque and powdery chunks (some calcareous); tiny light bits, some glistening; and some irregular, small, red and dark gray inclusions. Regional cooking fabric.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves ca. 25% of rim and body and one handle. Slight abrasion around edges but clean breaks; thin, extensive film of encrustation covers all surfaces.
