Archaeologists recovered this storage jar at the Dallas Hylton site in the Piedmont region of Virginia. The jar’s decorative characteristics suggests it was made during the Dan River phase between 1000 AD- 1450 AD.

Like most ceramics of this era and region, pottery is cinched at the neck and decorated using nets. This style is a direct influence of Uwharrie sedentism and agriculture adopted 200 years earlier.
