| Description | Plain Cooking pot (olla) with a carinated body, cylindrical collar, rounded rim, 2 unknown (missing?) handles on the body, and a flat base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. There appears to be a roughly burnished finish on the exterior and a roughly burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing and reducing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom of base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base. No other numbers are visible on the object. |
