Good Morning

My boss has asked if I would ask you all to take a look at a coarse earthenware vessel that someone brought in to the museum for identification.  I did not see it but my boss says it has a heavy grit temper, it was made on a "wheel", and there was possible remnants of a slip or greenish glaze.  It was found 3 feet below surface along the Connecticut River floodplains where prehistoric Native American sites were being excavated.

I have several pictures to send. . .

Thank you!
