- Comparanda
- The profile of the base is better for Beirut 2 than Beirut 3, though overlapping trends in development mean that a toe is not necessarily definitive.
- Description
- Single sherd preserving complete button toe and lower body. Slightly coarse fabric fired to light gray core with transition to reddish-brown near surfaces; frequent tiny angular sandy bits, many visible on surface; occasional medium to small light rounded <lime>. Surface very thinly slipped to essentially plain; one sub-rounded vegetal(?) surface void observed. Rounded ridging on exterior toward base, though becoming less prominent away from base; interior quite smooth.
