In 1914, this unassociated funerary object was transferred to Boston Children’s Museum by the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology at Phillips Academy Andover through archeologist Dr. Warren K. Moorehead. According to Peabody Institute records, the clay water bottle was collected by archeologist C.B. Moore in 1909. One clay bottle was removed from Madrid County, MO, and given to Boston Children’s Museum by a C.E. Carpenter. When this unassociated funerary object was removed and donated is unknown. One clay pitcher was removed from Lower MS/MO. In March of 1962, this unassociated funerary object was given to Brandeis University by Charles Cattelle, and in 1970, Brandeis University transferred it to Boston Children’s Museum. Catalog notes state that it was ‘‘made by mound builders of So. Missouri.’’ The clay pitcher is similar to clay bodies and assemblages found in Northeastern Arkansas and Southeastern Missouri. Three clay vessels—one bottle and two jars—were removed from unknown locations. Based on their physical arrangement within the Museum’s storage, these unassociated funerary objects are considered to have come from the Southeast, though no provenience information was found in the Museum’s accession files or catalog records. These three clay vessels are similar to clay bodies and assemblages found in Northeastern Arkansas and Southeastern Missouri. E:\FR\FM\19JYN1.SGM 19JYN1
