These sherds were just a few of the many collected from the surface of a multicomponent (multiple occupations) site in Elk County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1972. The sherds are decorated in four different designs: crosshatching, diagonal lines oriented either left or right, and horizontal lines with dentate stamping and bosses. Dentate stamping is associated with Cuesta phase, Kansas City Hopewell and Schultz phase pottery. The three bosses are most readily apparent by the indentation on the back of the sherd.
