Sand-tempered clay bowl from a Saponi Indian Village

This bowl was found in 1966 on the banks of the Roanoke River between Occaneechi Island and Gaston Lake. It was reconstructed from 22 pieces of identically surfaced pottery. In the same trash pit in our five-foot square, we recovered a donut-shaped soapstone pendant. The Saponi town of Akenatzy was about 80 miles upstream.
