About 7 or 8 years ago I obtained a box of pottery sherds that "some might fit together" and lo and behold with some patients and persistence I managed together this small, partial bowl. Originally from New York, I suspect late woodland. It's thick, and the rim is in rough shape. I "helped" a few joints by mixing pottery crumbs and glue as filler. I think it would have held a pint.
There were many pieces that did not match this vessel in the box, probably another 30 sherds of various looks. I'm very lucky to be the keeper of this artifact and keep it under plexiglass.
