This object has the following keywords:

• archaeological objects - Objects and other material culture found in contexts of archaeological research, typically reserved for those unearthed from periods before usually the 19th century and from extinct cultures. For objects originating in any culture still living or known through relatively recent history when those articles are the concern of ethnographic or ethnological study, prefer "ethnographic objects."
• clay - Naturally occurring sediments that are produced by chemical actions resulting during the weathering of rocks. Clays are composed of hydrated aluminum silicates, such as Kaolinite, Illite, Palygorskite, Attapulgite, Bentonite, and Montmorillonite. Small amounts of other minerals can change the color (white, yellow, brown or red) and texture of the clays. Clays may include all earths that form a paste with water and harden when heated.
• disks - Thin, flat, circular objects of any material.
• sherds - Limited to fragments of pottery or glass.
