Contents: Ceramic Disc Analysis
Description: Artifacts in this table include worked ceramic sherds and stones that were shaped into flat, usually round disks or modeled clay spindle whorls. The ceramic disks are a subset of RCDPRC. This analysis was conducted to determine function of the disks. Focus was on presence of a central hole, weight, and morphology.
