- Lot Description
Native American, Southeastern or Midwestern United States, Mississippian / Caddo culture, ca. 1400 to 1600 CE. A wonderful pottery jar presenting a bulbous body with a neck that flares out to a broad mouth. The exterior of the vessel is adorned with incised vertical striations along the neck and impressed concentric circles radiating around the body with 3 lugs or nodules applied to the center. This jaw is known as the Foster Trailed-Incised type, attributed to late in the Caddo period. The material used consists of a shell temper mixture, characteristic for Caddo pottery, as the fine-grained clay from the regions often shrinks excessively, and the addition of shell particles reduces this shrinkage greatly when firing. Throughout this dark gray surface one can see the white shell particles that create a handsome, flecked surface. Size: 6.5" Diameter x 7" H (16.5 cm x 17.8 cm)
For more information and a similar example, please see the Stephen F. Austin State University Scholar works website, Index of Texas Archaeology article "Foster Trailed-Incised: A GIS-Based Analysis of Caddo Ceramic Distribution" published 2011 by Duncan P. McKinnon.
