content: Style: Braden A & B Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Apex, shoulder, edge fragment Manufacturing Notes: Apical hole near rim. Also 4 tiny (<0.2 cm) holes at very tip of apex on either side of a worn hole. These appear drilled. Could it have been to affix a patch? 1 of these perforations has been broken into, the other 3 are intact. Only one of these I've seen. Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: 3 finger w/concentric ring motif of Braden B. Snake bits on all frags. Residue: Matting impression on apical frag. Thick red residue on shoulder frag both sides. Inner looks like textile. Has apparently been treated w/ polyvinyl acetate. Comments: 3 finer motif w/possible Moundville association. From 3 different vessels, 2 frags may be Braden A - The apex is Braden B. Nice example of residue even tho it may be contaminated.
