Sorting Criteria

Similar to Etowah Incised. Plate-like bowls fringed with a disc-shaped collar. The top surface of this collared affair was given an incised design while the under surface of the collar as well as the exterior surface of the vessel was treated with a stamped design. The upper surface of the collar was line impressed into a curvilinear design incorporating the “Southern cult eye design”. Sand/grit or limestone tempered.
