Short Description/Keyword: Punctated/Incised jar from the Pocahontas Site (22HI500), Hinds County, Mississippi. The jar is tempered with fine particles of mussel shell. This jar could be classified as "Dupree," a variety of the archaeological type "Avoyelles Punctated." The jar originally had four small loop handles; only one handle is now intact. The jar was removed from the conical burial mound (Mound B) at Pocahontas by James A. Ford in the 1930s. See Ford's 1936 publication Analysis of Indian Village Site Collections From Louisiana and Mississippi (pp. 123-125).
