Sand Lake Archaeological District – Oneota Pottery, Koshkonong Bold

Sand Lake Archaeological District – Oneota Pottery, Koshkonong Bold This Koshkonong Bold rim sherd was recovered from an Oneota circular basin, storage/garbage pit. It has lip top to exterior finger (wide) notches, giving the rim a pie-crust appearance. The vessel has a wide strap handle that tapers toward the bottom. The handle is attached below the lip and has no decoration. This rim dates to the Pammel Creek phase occupation of the site. Recovered during 2008 excavations at the Sand Lake Archaeological District, located north of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
