Description
Simple, flat to slightly concave base; slight band around base to slightly flaring lower wall.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Pale orangish red fabric, fired slightly more pale orange at surface but splotchy; hard, slightly coarse; vagule smooth to granular break; common, small, somewhat well sorted, sandy inclusions, mostly subrounded to spherical: common lime or other calcarous chunks; uncommon to common, dark (red, gray?) and light (many quartzitic) bits. Southern Phoenician. Cf. KTH0814; sim. KTH2171 but less gritty.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves roughly one quarter of base and lower body. Slight erosion of fabric; slight, somewhat extensive abrasion on all surfaces and chipping along edges; slight, extensive film of encrustation.
