One sherd was found, however, which has two parallel bands of brown running over a background of yellowish red. Whether this is simply an accident or intentional is hard to determine as the sherd is small. The lower band is well defined and seems to be inlaid into the pottery [fig. 24]. One broken pot found in a grave had an ear like some of the Ohio forms.
