Pottery has been excavated from some of the earthen mounds. This clay jar was unearthed in
present-day Arkansas. It was hand-made using the
coiling
technique. The coils of clay were wound
around to build up the sides of the jar and then pinched together and smoothed. The design was made
by scratching lines into the wet clay after the pot was formed, then the pot was
fired
to harden the clay. |
