Fabric, firing, and surface description
Micaceous variant of standard LRA2 Southern Argolid fabric, with typical firing and surface treatment: orangish red fabric fired pale yellowish brown with streaks of pink at surface; uncommon, poorly sorted, small, lime inclusions, few spalling; one large, angular, yellowish gray (lime?) stone exploding through surface; thin wash is mostly well smoothed on exterior rim, but area of vertically scraped clay at turn to lip.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 33% of rim and small part of uppermost rim. Slight, sparse abrasion with minor scratching and pitting around lip; worn breaks; little or no encrustation.
