Description
This
vessel
is
a
plaster
cast
of a
highly-decorated
pot
excavated
at
Mound
City
,
now
Hopewell
Culture
National
Park
,
near
Chillicothe
in
Ross
County
,
Ohio
.
It
is
squarish
in
shape
with a
straight
rim
. The
upper
part
of the
rim
is
decorated
with
fine
indentations
bordered
by a
row
of
triangular
punctates
(indentations)
. The
neck
of the
pot
is
plain
,
while
the
body
has
four
sides
,
each
featuring
an
incised
,
abstract
bird
design
,
possibly
a
duck
.
Around
each
of the
figures
are
fine
indentations
made
with a
comb-like
tool
. At
each
corner
of the
pot
there
is
a
vertical
row
of
triangular
punctates
,
extending
to the
four
small
feet
on
which
the
pot
stands
. This
piece
is
from
Hopewell
Culture
. In
Ohio
, the
Hopewell
Indians
(100
B.C.-A.D
.
500)
built
burial
mounds
and
large
earthen
enclosures
in
geometric
shapes
(circles
,
squares
, and
octagons)
to
mark
the
places
where
the
people
gathered
periodically
to
participate
in
many
social
and
ceremonial
events
.
Some
of these
sites
were
quite
large
-
the
Newark
Earthworks
complex
extends
over
a
4-square-mile
area
. The
Hopewell
people
also
maintained
a
large
trade
network
extending
as
far
as the
Rocky
Mountains
of
Wyoming
, the
Florida
coast
and
Appalachians
, and
northern
Lake
Superior
.
