- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Buff with a tinge of red (2.5YR 7/6). Dense, soft, slightly coarse fabric, gritty, with infrequent, very small, red, black, and white inclusions and rare larger “lime“ chunks, a few exploding at the surface. Very thin, dull, even slip same color as fabric painted on exterior. Cf. KTH2370. Note: this is not a Greek fabric (cf. Koutsongila, Corinth); appears Roman.
