This reconstructed vessel was recovered in fragmented sherds from the Curry site in Greenwood County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1984. The vessel has an elongated body with a conical base. It shows six lace crack holes, which were drilled into the vessel after a crack developed and then laced with some type of material such a leather. An orange colored plaster was added to fill in the empty spaces during reconstruction. The Curry site was a multicomponent (multiple occupations) site occupied periodically during the Archaic, Early Ceramic and Middle Ceramic Periods.
