These pottery sherds were recovered from a multicomponent site in Linn County occupied periodically from the Archaic to the Historic periods. The pottery is similar to that of the Trowbridge phases of the Kansas City Hopewell variant and to Cuesta Decorated dentate stamped pottery of the Cuesta phase of eastern Kansas. Dentate stamping is a decorative technique that leaves tooth-like impressions. The sherds shown here represent at least two vessels. Cuesta phase sites are the earliest sites in southeastern Kansas with recognizable remains of houses, pottery, and domesticated plants, including maize. They date from 800 to 1000 CE.
