A collection of prehistoric pottery in Indiana : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This project was created in order to have a useable resource for identifying and learning about the prehistoric pottery of Indiana. To begin books, archaeological papers, and articles that pertained to Indiana pottery were collected. Next, a list of common traits was created and for each type of pottery, the list based on the traits was compiled. Overall, the work is not a totally comprehensive list of all pottery types found in Indiana, but serves as a foundation for identification and learning about many types of prehistoric pottery. The work is available in CD form as an Adobe Acrobat PDF Me, for easy use, storage, and better picture quality.
