Background

Frank Schnell, Jim Knight, and Gail Schnell created this catch-all category for three different varieties of pottery. These include Cool Branch Incised, Lake Jackson Incised, and Lake Jackson Plain.

Named after the famous Lake Jackson site in the northern city limits of Tallahassee, Florida.
