Late Roman Amphora 2 Small
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Micaceous variant of standard LRA2 Southern Argolid fabric, with typical firing and surface treatment: pinkish orange fabric fired pale brown at surfaces (1mm); uncommon, small, poorly sorted, subangular lime specks, with rare, isolated, angular lime chunks spalling; thin wash mostly smoothed on exterior rim.
Preservation comment
One small sherd preserves 15% of rim and small part of upper neck. Slight, sparse abrasion and scratching, with large chipping from lower edget; mostly clean breaks. Small orange splotch smeared across outside lip: postdepositional?
