Description

This artifact is an indigenous pre-contact Native American pottery shard (body sherd) from the upper Midwest region. Based on the cord-marked texture and location in Nobles County, Minnesota, this shard is consistent with the Woodland Period (specifically Late Woodland) or subsequent Plains Village / Mississippian traditions (such as Great Oasis or Cambria cultures active in southern Minnesota).
