Early Bronze Age pottery food vessel

Restored vessel of food vessel tradition; of coarse grey ware, with a rough grey-buff surface. The shoulder is rounded, without grooves, although the neck has a slight encircling ridge. The everted rim has a fairly deep external and very deep internal bevel. The decoration consists of cord impressed horizontal lines on the bevels of the rim and arranged in panels, with groups of vertical lines on the neck separated immediately below the external bevel of the rim by seven undecorated applied loops, equally spaced. There is also a row of cord-impressed loops on the shoulder.
