About this book
Ancient Pottery of the Mississippi Valley examines a particular collection rather than attempting a monographic study of the region's ceramic products. The account identifies the collection at the Academy of Natural Sciences at Davenport, Iowa, as the one chosen for the advantages it presented.
The treatment of wide-mouthed bottles or jars suggests that these vessels were probably not used for ordinary cooking and serving food. The vessels are described as generally small and found buried with the dead, beside the head or feet or within reach of the hands. The classification groups forms ranging from a wide-mouthed pot to a well-developed bottle.
