Pan: flaring body to sharply inverted rim with plain, rounded lip and wide exterior flange just below. Faint corrugation on outside wall.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Reddish/purplish brown fabric, variably fired to brownish gray to brown at extreme surface; some blackening by fire across lower wall. Coarse, somewhat granular fabric with numerous, small round voids; frequent, small and tiny, poorly sorted, angular to subangular, white (calcareous?), gray, and brown particles, numerous small to large flakes of golden mica. Eastern Aegean/northwestern Asia Minor: Pergamene-Mysian?
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves ca. 17% of rim with lip and upper to lower body. Somewhat slight, extensive abrasion with a few large chips; worn breaks; somewhat thin film of encrustation across all surfaces.
