5 3/4" x 6" Miller Field Site, Warren Co., NJ Iroquoian Pottery Section, Large Portion of Rim
Lot # 501 (Sale Order: 501 of 556)
Information on the Miller Field Site, excerpt from Bulletin Number 48 March 1970 written by Herbert Kraft: Mr. Staats and I became acquainted in the summer of 1965. At that time he gave me permission to examine his collection and his records. Three significant facts manifested themselves during this preliminary investigation. First, there were post-molds in abundance, and some suggested patterns. The significance of these subsurface features rested in the fact that post molds and settlement patterns had consistently eluded archaeologists in New Jersey; the literature at least makes scant reference to them (Cross 1941:43, 138; 1956:197). Second, there was Contact Period trade material in some of the pits and burials, together with artifacts of Indian manufacture. Such trade material as had been found in New Jersey heretofore was located, for the most part, in the plow zone or under circumstances that were less than ideal. The glass bottle and beads, iron hoes and nails, copper sheet artifacts and gun flints found by Mr. Staats promised to shed important new light on this critical trade period. Third, the ceramic remains, both vessels and tobacco pipes, indicated a temporal range from early Point Peninsula to Late Munsee. Spatially, the ceramic influence embraced an area from the Mohawk Valley in New York to the Overpeck region in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the Abbott Farm below Trenton. Distinctive tulip bowl pipes and diagnostic high collar vessels also pointed to the Susquehanna Valley in the west while Bowman's Brook pottery suggested an eastward extension to the Atlantic Ocean. Numerous diagnostic sherds promised a fair evaluation and identification of pottery types, and a correlation of such types with known ceramic tradition in New York State and Pennsylvania.
