Unclassified Amphora
Fabric, firing, surface
Orangish red fabric; surfaces fired very slightly more brown. Somewhat coarse, hard; mostly smooth break but faintly granular with slightly rough surface texture. Uncommon, poorly sorted, tiny to small, lime specks and fewer angular red particles and tiny dark bits; few vegetal voids visible in break; not micaceous.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves most of one handle. Extensive, moderate abrasion and chipping around the edges; worn breaks; faint cloud of incipient encrustation(?).
