Jug. Conical, flaring rim with short, everted, rounded lip. Loop handle, rectangular in section with broad grooves on outer face and side, attaches against rim just below lip.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Reddish brown; slightly coarse, hard, granular break; uncommon to common, small, well sorted, subrounded and subangular, light inclusions (some quartzitic?) and other tiny bits (most red and light). Surface cannot be well observed through encrustation.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves <5% of rim and neck with upper segment and attachment of handle. Extensive, moderate(?) abrasion; worn breaks; thick, extensive encrustation.
