- Description:
- Paste: very coarse ground sherd temper with some organic inclusions, grainy texture, moderate luster.
Surface finish: difficult to determine. Upper surface and rim highly polished with hard object. Because no temper visible this surface, is probable that slip applied prior to smoothing. Extreme staining and black incrustations of upper surface and smoke blackening of the lower make slip identification difficult. Lower surfaces are not smoothed but remain rough as though coils obliterated with hard object while plate was in leather-hard state.
Slip: Difficult to determine presence or color.
Hardness: 4

Color: 6 YR 5/4 __ 7.5 YR 7/4
