Teapot Vessel -- “Teapot” vessel of dark gray ware, ball shaped
Neeley’s Ferry pottery type -- Neeley’s Ferry Plain pottery commonly occurs at sites in the St. Francis River drainage in Arkansas. Paste is tempered with coarsely crushed mussel shell with a wide range of particle sizes. Often the surface of the pottery is rough due to leaching and often scoring from tools is evident. Frequently this paste was used in the construction of cooking vessels and storage jars (pp 10-12, Hathcock, Roy).
