These three rim sherds were collected from the Aerhart site in 1934 and donated in 1971 to the Kansas Historical Society. All three are cord roughened to the lip. The sherd on the top row is a Riley Flaring Plain rim. The two sherds on the bottom row are Riley Tool decorated rims. Both are decorated with diagonal lines on the lip. The Aerhart site, in Ottawa County, was a Smoky Hill phase site with one circular house with an entryway to the southeast.
