- Late Roman Amphora 4
- Typological identification comment
- JLR: slope on shoulder suggests early LRA4, cf. Pieri2005 B1, perhaps end 5th/early 6th c.?
- Description
- Conical upper body but slightly convex, without discernible shoulder. Short rim without neck, plain and rounded, rolled outward. Patches of excess clay around upper body and rim.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- The fabric is unusual: hard, fired reddish, with large <lime> chunks visible in rim, other small to tiny light inclusions, some small angular lime. Clearly not the typical brown fabric of usual series.
- Preservation comment
- Two joining sherds (475+1499) preserve ca. 60% of rim and upper body. Slight to modern, extensive abrasion and chipping around edges; worn breaks; thin, extensive film of encrustation.
