Graphite Crucible Body Sherds

Seven heavily burnt body sherds from a moderately-sized crucible. The crucible sherds are likely made of graphite or possibly a crude stoneware, although the body is so burned it is difficult to determine the composition of the vessel. The sherds do not mend and are of varying thicknesses, so they may represent more than one vessel.
