Most food during the early eighteenth century was consumed in bowls among the middle and lower classes. Plates were not common until after the mid-eighteenth century and, even then, plates remained uncommon on sites occupied by lower class colonists. Pewter plates and wooden trenchers also were used for food service, but both are rarely found on archaeological sites. Pewter was recycled because of its value, and wooden trenchers are rarely preserved in a site because the wood decayed Indian Pottery. Indian pottery was found in all midden excavation levels and in nine features. In Levels 2 through 7 it was the dominant ware. More than 80 percent of the pottery was found below Level 2. Indian pots at Mount Pleasant were of two forms--jars and bowls. Jars probably were used for storing foods, while bowls were used mostly as cooking and serving containers. The vast majority of the pottery sherds found were not decorated. Some vessels were decorated by brushing or scraping, incising, punctating, or 51
y the addition of a notched/pinched applique strips placed around the rims ofjars and on the shoulders of bowls. Examples of decorated Indian ceramics are shown in Figures 7 and 10. These types of decorations appear on pottery found on other eighteenth-century Yuchi and Creek sites along the Chattahoochee River (Ruscher 1958; Chase 1960;Schnell 1982). Most of the Indian pottery sherds were too small to reconstruct the vessels although, from two larger sherds we were able to project vessel form. Both were small undecorated shell-tempered bowls. Their reconstructed profiles are depicted in Figures 8 and 9. A minimum vessel estimate also was calculated for the Indian pottery and it is presented in Table 9. Trader Point contained 24 distinct Indian pottery vessels including II jars, 11 bowls, and two vessels whose form is unknown. Fourteen of these vessels were sand tempered, while 10 were shell tempered. Most of the sherds were too small to determine the vessel size, but measuring the rim diameter enabled archaeologists to make estimates for the overall size of three pots: one jar measured 30 cm in diameter, while two bowls measured 28 centimeters in diameter.
