Late Roman Amphora 2
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Micaceous variant of standard LRA2 Southern Argolid fabric, with typical firing and surface treatment: relatively gritty, with rare to uncommon, varied, tiny dark bits and rare, medium, irregular chunks of lime, red material (terracotta?), and gray stone spalling and sometimes cracking surface; thin wash that is well smoothed.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 33% of rim and small part of upper neck. Slight abrasion across lip, but otherwise surfaces and breaks mostly clean.
