- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Pale orangish red, consistently fired; hard, somewhat coarse; smooth to slightly granular break; numerous, small, well sorted, sandy inclusions, mostly rounded to spherical: many dark red and brown, few white and light gray (quartizitic and calcareous); very rare, medium, angular, white chunks (chalk or limestone?); rare, medium to large, subangular, bluish gray stoney inclusions. Sim. to Northern Galiliean-Southern Phoenician fabric represented by KTH1199, KTH2046, and KTH2058; but distinguished by less lime and presence of bluish gray chips. Cf. KTH0686 (Agora M334 similis but different from this) and KTH0711 (amphoriskos).
