Sh 261 | NM II ?? Warm brown clay, slightly deeper at center. Coarse temper consisting of (1) dark redbrown particles (sherd?)probably not, (2) grey particles (some fractured like slate), (3) white particles (shell or marble). These are all jagged, and look like prepared grit for a temper. It may be sea-sand, but is more likely not water-made. (This is the temper of this group of sherds (Sh 146, 158, 164, 199, 204, 205, 223, 232, 275, 277, 278, 293, 350). Sh 281 seems to have the same temper, but it is finer + contains much lime. Light brown surface. Lustrous vermillion paint, flaked. Tr. 4, N. ext. Top-soil. (6.3.37)
