Round Lake Shoreline - Pottery

These sherds likely belong to this partially reconstructed, thousand-year-old clay pot. The form, coil manufacture and decorative elements date from the Middle Woodland Period. Decoration was applied to the wet clay with a stamping tool resembling the edge of a scallop. One sherd has a mending hole that would have been threaded with cord to bind the cracked pot.
