Description
Basin. Heavy, plain, flat bottom. Flaring, cylindrical body angled into bottom; ridged on exterior.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Light yellowish brown fired pale buff at surfaces (1-2 mm); slightly coarse, very hard, hackly break; uncommon, small to medium, angular inclusions (many calcareous) and other tiny bits; one large, white, subangular inclusion embedded in interior surface; uncommon voids, some small and subrounded, rarely irregular and elongated. Light turning marks on interior; light brush marks on all extant surfaces.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves ca. 8% of base and small part of lower body. Slight, sparse abrasion especially around edges; slightly worn breaks, otherwise surface in good condition.
