This rim sherd was recovered from the Fanning Site in Doniphan County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1999. The rim sherd is tempered with shell and has decorations on the lip and opposed diagonal lines with a punctate border on the body. This style is similar to ceramics from the Middle/Developmental Horizon (1200 - 1400 CE) of the Oneota during the Middle Ceramic period. The Fanning village site was associated with the Oneota and Kansa peoples. It was described at the turn of the 19th- and 20th-century as having numerous "teepee sites" still visible.
