| Title: | EH II HEARTH: RIM | |
| Category Code: | MF | |
| Object Number: | 13396 | |
| Description: | Large pan-hearth in coarse ware. If circular, estimated diameter 1.200. Bottom unevenly flat. From bottom, outer edge rises at an outward angle for about 0.020, then incurves to flat upper rim, which slants slightly downward to inside, dropping off sharply in a concave curve to pan surface. Entire fragment thickens and rim widens at left, as seen from within pan, suggesting possibility of asymmetrical shape. | |
| Decoration: | Bottom unfinished; apparently fabricated and fired in situ. Rim decorated with roller-seal impression of three interlocking bands of tri-striped wave complex, pattern-width exceeding rim width. Pattern seems a fresher but otherwise exact mirror-image of the pattern on MF-1976-66, consequently perhaps from a terracotta roller seal going back to same matrix. Washed. | |
| Material: | Coarse fabric, heavily loaded with grit and other big dark and light inclusions, trace mica. Fired dark grayish tan going to dark smokey gray or reddish brown variously. | |
| Condition: | Fragment. Single rim fragment broken laterally all around except at outer periphery. Cracked and abraded and worn. Traces of burning. | |
| Manufacture: | HM | |
| Dimensions Preserved: | L. 0.130, W. 0.086, Th. 0.048, W. of rim 0.071-0.073, Min. Th. of pan 0.031 | |
| Dimensions Restored: | Diam. ca. 1.200 | |
