Iroquoian Ceramics with Applique Collar
Summary
This was a hand-out at the 2007 Conference on Iroquois Research, Rensselaerville, NY. It was in the context of an Archaeology Workshop organized by Martha Sempowski and Bill Engelbrecht. Why is this style so widespread? The frills on some of these pots suggest stylized breasts. The clay comes from Mother Earth and the contents of the pot nourished people. Did it have this meaning for the Iroquois? Was this style a reaction to the introduction of copper kettles? Did women view the introduction of copper kettles as undermining one of their traditional roles (pottery manufacture)?
