Two pottery shards, likely from food storage containers, found near the site of the former Anderson farm.
Shard (a) is larger and appears to come from the lid of a container, having a curved edge. Its glazed upper side is light brown, with a curved reddish-brown line about 1.8 cm thick running through the middle, and a raised shape which may have been part of a star symbol. The unglazed underside is a lighter grey/taupe in colour and has a pattern of small circular bosses on the interior lip, likely for providing friction between the lid and jar to reduce rattling.
Shard (b) is much smaller, white, and glazed on both sides.
