These vessel sherds were found at the Trowbridge archeological site in Wyandotte County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1973. The donor glued the pottery together prior to donating it. The vessel, a large jar, is decorated with a series of slightly scalloped horizontal dentate stamping. Dentate stamping is a decorating technique that leaves tooth-like impressions. Above the dentate stamping is a row of bosses and vertical tool impressions on the rim. Archeologists call this style of pottery Naples Stamped. Trowbridge is a Kansas City Hopewell site from the Early Ceramic Period. During this time archeologists find evidence of houses, cultivated plants, and decorated pottery.
