Description
Profile distinctive for having relatively deep and well-defined groove on interior under rim.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Micaceous variant of standard LRA2 Southern Argolid fabric, with typical firing and surface treatment: uncommon, isolated, medium, angular lime chunks spalling and cracking surface; thin wash and brush marks, with darker, thicker accumulation in turning grooves across exterior rim; prominent wheel ridging on interior.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 30% of rim and small part of middle to upper neck. Slight, sparse abrasion and minor chipping across lip; worn breaks; faint clouds of white discoloration: incipient encrustation?
