Students find 400-year-old pot
Students from the University of Florida discovered a rare and intact clay pot dating back approximately 400 years during excavation work at a Spanish mission site north of Gainesville, Florida. The pot is made from local clay and appears to have been used for heating food, with burn marks indicating it was placed near a fire rather than used directly over the flames. Finding a complete, unbroken vessel is a rare discovery, and it may have been used during the Spanish mission period that lasted about a century, with evidence suggesting its use in a building that was likely a military barracks.
