- Description
- Wide, rounded body. Vertical rim tapering toward top with thin, sharp lip; outside face offset from wall by shallow groove; inside face concave with curved ridge forming ledge for lid. Circular handle ridged all around, twisted, attaches from upper body to articulation of shoulder and neck.
- Fabric, firing, surface
- Fabric 10R 4/1, dark grayish red, fired darker near surfaces (2-3 mm). Hard, granular fabric; slightly hackly break and pimply surface. Common, well sorted, subangular to subrounded, few tabular, small to medium, light (white, yellow) and light gray particles; rare sparkling bits (silvery mica?); rare small voids.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 8% of rim and shoulder and one handle. Mostly clean breaks but somewhat extensive abrasion and chipping across surfaces of vessel and handle; large patches of encrustation.
