Ceramic Pot From Cherokee County, NC
Ceramic pot from Cherokee County, North Carolina, ca. AD 1770. This pot is classified as Late Qualla (AD 1700-1838). Features of Late Qualla pottery are similar to Middle Qualla (AD ca.1450- ca.1700), with its stamped geometric patterns and wide mouth. But, Late Qualla pots seem to have a more pronounced lip at the top, whereas Middle Qualla pots have little to no lip. Most Qualla pottery come from the Cherokee tribe, and despite disease and removal from their land, the Cherokees keep their pottery designs alive.
