Pottery from Town Creek

Figure 4. Pot fragments and utilitarian pottery from Town Creek. (Photograph by the author. More about the photograph)

Figure 4 shows some examples of pots and pottery fragments found at Town Creek along with artifacts made of stone and shell about 1200 CE. This photograph was made of one of the displays in the Museum at the Town Creek State Historic Site in Montgomery County. The site is one of the most popular in the state, and is worth a visit. There is also an excellent description of it in a book by Joffre Lanning Coe entitled Town Creek Indian Mound: A Native American Legacy (UNC Press, 1995).
