Spanish Influence Jar

This plain ceramic jar has no decorative designs, although it does have some grooves in the handles.

Experts suggest that the pot is Taino with the distinctive Spanish-style lug handles. Judging from that information, the pot dates from 1494 - 1503.

Below a diver recovers one of the many ceramic pieces similar to this Spanish-influence pot. All artifact positions were carefully mapped before being removed from the site.
