Description

Ten fragments of coarse, grainy pottery are arranged in rows on a pale card, with a measuring rod running down the left edge. The sherds vary in size and outline: some are broad curved pieces with a rounded rim edge, others are angular or triangular, and their surfaces are rough and pitted with small inclusions. No decoration is clearly visible on most pieces.
