Description

Three fragments, joining, of globular vessel. Fabric is reddish-yellow. A portion of the belly and the beginning of the neck of a delicate pot. Thin horizontal lines throughout, interrupted by two reserved bands: the upper one, below neck, with an alternating pattern of five vertical lines and a dot in the resultant reserved square; and the lower, with a rudimentary dogtooth pattern made by short lines that jut upward, alternating with lines that jut downwards.

Analyzed by M. Kerschner (sample Sard 19), and by Kealhofer and Grave (Kealhofer, Grave, and Marsh 2013: sample AIA 941).

Same findspot as HoB 350.
