Pottery jar, Norris Farms # 36, Fulton County.
An Oneota jar decorated with trailed lines made while the clay was still moist. The handles may have been used to suspend the jar over a fire.

Traditional pottery containers remained in use until European containers of glass and metal became available and then slowly disappeared. Oneota pottery has distinctive designs, especially broad, geometric designs made in moist clay before it was fired. Pottery vessels include jars, bowls, bowls with clay animal heads applied to their rims, and water bottles, some of which have painted designs. Some of these items were obtained through trade with Mississippians.
