Description	A portion of an impasto vessel, consisting of approximately eighteen sherds and having an almost complete profile, is preserved. The rounded rim slopes outward from the neck of the vessel, and has a rather uneven appearance. From the neck the body of the vessel curves downward. On the interior, at the bottom of the preserved fragment, the vessel wall just begins to curve upward into the base. The thickness of the vessel walls is not consistent throughout, which indicates that the vessel was coil made rather than wheel thrown.
