St Johns Check Stamped Potsherds |
Object Name |
Potsherd |
Description |
215 pieces of primarily St. Johns and Ocmulgee pottery from the surface of the Coe site southwest of the Plaza in Old Town. These pieces were coil pottery, not made using a wheel. There are check stamped and plain. There is one piece from the Early European time that is from an olive jar. This pottery dates from 850 to 1200 AD during the Mississippi period. The four pieces shown here (6.056, 6.113, 6.074, and 6.196) represent Ocmulgee in the upper left and St. Johns in the upper right. In the bottom left is St. Johns and the piece in the lower right is the olive jar sherd. The Coe site is striking for the high incidence of Ocmulgee pottery, which is 33% of the overall collection (Old Town, New Perspectives: Discovering the Native American on Amelia Island, paper presented at the 64th Annual Florida Anthropological Society, May 12, 2012). |
