- Description
- Amphoriskos. Narrow toe with excess clay, irregular form, and sloppy finishing. Narrow body, widening toward middle.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Pale orange with a tinge red, consistently fired; hard, slightly coarse; smooth to somewhat granular break; common, small, well sorted, sandy inclusions, mostly rounded to spherical: many dark red and brown, few white and light gray (quartizitic and calcareous); very rare, medium, angular, white chunks (chalk or limestone?); very rare, large, subrounded, red stones; very rare, small to medium, subangular, bluish gray stoney inclusions. Sim. to Northern Galiliean-Southern Phoenician fabric represented by KTH1199, KTH2046, and 2058; but distinguished by less lime and presence of bluish gray chips. Cf. KTH0686 and KTH1372 (Agora M334 similis but different forms from this).
