- Description
- Amphora. Narrow vertical but slightly tapering neck. Widened rim has flat to slightly concave outer face with sharp lower edge; upper face slopes inward to rounded edge. Ridge on interior and exterior. Thick loop handle attaches to upper neck. Small part of dipinto in dark red paint survives on lower neck at transition to shoulder.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Fabric is fired to consistent pale brown (10YR 7/4), surface thinly slip and just barely lighter than fabric. Frequent varied tiny bits, many dark, or “black sand“ but also rare lime particles; some medium to small, angular, elongated chunks or red serpentinite. Eastern Cilician.
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves ca. 40% of rim and neck, one handle stub, and small part of upper wall. Slight, sparse abrasion and chipping especially around worn edges; specks of encrustation.
