More model informationCeramics at the Long Swamp site were not limited to jars and cooking pots. Clay was also shaped shaped into human and other animal forms before being hardened by fire.
This effigy is of the human form with a cylindrical body tapering to a head. There is one short arm petruding from its right side and the other has broken off. This is one of the smaller artifacts scanned from the collection, measuring 37.66mm tall and weighing 4.6g.
The effigy was found in a pit which was originally used as a source for clay. The clay was used to create plaster which was applied to the pallisade surrounding the village. Later, the pit became a refuse site where this effigy was discarded around A.D. 1100.
