• Hampson ID: UN_xxx
• Form: Double Conjoined Jar

As noted by Williams (1980), conjoined ceramic vessels are characteristic of some of the latest occupations in the Central Mississippi Valley. The example shown here is from Upper Nodena and was made using a Mississippian Plain paste. Both jars have arcaded handles on the neck (10 on the left, 8 on the right) and beveled rims. The joining strap was formed essentially by pressing outward on the interior vessel wall and melding the resulting extruded clay into a solid strap. Mussel shells were found inside both of these small vessels measuring 3 5/8 inches.
