- Description
- Large jug. Low false ring foot, extant flattened floor drops to very near level of base towards center, lower part of sloping walls preserved.
- Fabric, firing, surface
- Red with a tinge of orange, fired to pale brown near exterior surface (2-4mm) with thin, even white slip. Hard, slightly coarse; smooth breaking, with smooth to dusty surface texture. Uncommon to common, small, tabular, rounded, white (calcareous?) inclusions and rarely red bits; rare, subangular, dark gray stones; rare elongated voids or laminar cavities visible in section.
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves ca. 40% of base and large part of lower body. Slight, sparse abrasion and massive chipping around edges; slightly dulled breaks; extensive, thick patches of irregular encrustation.
