Pammel Creek – Oneota Rim Sherd

Oneota pottery Connie Arzigian lifts an Oneota rim sherd with handle from a pit feature at the Pammel Creek site (47LC61) in May 1989. This site is the type site for the Pammel Creek phase (A.D. 1400–1500) in the local Oneota sequence. The bold finger impressions on the lip of the vessel are typical for pottery from this phase.  The Pammel Creek site is located south of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
