Native American, Southeastern United States, Florida, Marco Island, Calusa / Glades culture, ca. 500 CE to 1750 CE. An interesting group of 24 pottery shards from coastal Native American tribes. The shards are various sizes, and a few contain drilled holes through them. The pottery of the Glades people was decorated with incised lines and punctures using wood or shell tools, as seen with these pieces. Most of what we know of the Everglades cultures is pieced together from their pottery. Included are some identifiable types, such as Fort Drum Incised, Plantation Pinched, Miami Incised, Glades Tooled, and St. John's Check Stamped. Pottery from the south Florida region was made with sand tempering for durability.
