A few specimens of potsherds were collected from the fields about
Sevierville.
Most of these are identical in every way with the pottery of the mound,
but three examples are of a totally different type. The material of
these is a fine sandy clay, tempered with a large percentage of finely
pulverized mica.
The forms of the vessels cannot be made out. The outer surfaces were
ornamented by a stamped pattern of small square or lozenge-shaped
figures, a number of these together were apparently formed by a single
stamp.
Among the fragments we have half a dozen disks, from 1 to 2 inches in
diameter, worked from ordinary potsherds. A small rudely modeled figure
of a bird was also found with these fragments. There were also masses of
indurated clay, which seem to have been used for chinking purposes.
