Context (Analysis)
This object was listed in the Accession Register immediately after 1913.350.1, which is from Florida and that may be why the museum label affixed to it gave the place as '?Florida'. This was subsequently taken as a positive identification, as there is a historic display label that gives its location definitively as 'Florida'. However the object is actually marked in pencil with two other, contradictory places which are difficult to see and were probably overlooked when it entered the museum's collection in 1913. One reads 'S. Georgia', whilst the other reads 'Mad[ison?] Co. OHIO'. C.B. Moore did excavate in south Georgia between 1895 and 1897, so that attribution is plausible even if there is no illustration of this vessel in this publications of the explorations. Although Moore did excavate along the Ohio river, he does not appear to have excavated in Ohio State itself, although it is possible that he collected this vessel rather than excavating it. Therefore it is currently very unclear whether this object came from Georgia, Ohio or Florida and all possibilities have been tentatively added to the Place field pending further investigation.
