These two ceramic sherds were donated by two different donors in 1982 and 1984 to the Kansas Historical Society. They were collected from the Arrowhead Island site in Coffey County. The Arrowhead Island site is a village of the Early Ceramic Period and the Kansas City Hopewell culture. The larger sherd has oblique lines below the rim with a series of punctates and rocker stamping below that. The smaller sherd has rocker stamping about a row of punctates. Rocker stamping is a method of decorating pottery with a continuous design using a rocking motion, often accomplished by using a mussel shell.
