Typological identification comment
Eastern Cilician: not Pompeii 5 or LRA 1, but morphologically linked to Agora M54/G198 or Lorenzo 7 (but thinner wall and no ledged rim)?
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Light red fabric but very surface fired whitish yellow; somewhat soft; granular break; frequent, mostly dark, small to tiny, varied inclusions=“black sand“ with rare lime bits and red serpentinite. Eastern Cilician.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 20% of rim and small part of upper neck with trace of upper handle attachment. Slight, sparse abrasion with rare flaking; worn breaks; tiny patches of encrustation.
