Comments
An extremely eroded bowl with characteristics indicating its inclusion within the Sierra Red type. The vessel has outcurved walls and remnants of a horizontal everted rim that seems to have been intentionally broken. The interior of the base is a very dark gray (10YR 3/1) as a result of fire exposure. The basal diameter is 26 cm, while the rimless aperture has a diameter of 28.5 cm. The vessel was found inverted over the skull of a seated, old adult female.
