Pee Dee style cup/pitcher
Description
This small, sand tempered, ceramic vessel was found submerged within a stone fish weir in the Pee Dee River, which runs between Montgomery and Stanly counties. It appears that the cup was originally made with a rim that went all the way around the vessel, but apparently broke and the remaining portion was intentionally ground and shaped to produce this unusual pitcher shape. Pee Dee pottery dates to approx. AD 1150-1450 and is perhaps best known from the nearby archaeological site known as Town Creek Indian Mound. It measures approx. 10.5 cm tall and 8 cm wide.
