Comments
BfGb-no #, Geddes vessel: Named for its finder, this vessel is of unknown provenience but probably came from a site in eastern Ontario. The anomalously old age obtained from encrusted material within the pot could be the result of more ancient fuel having been used or contaminants introduced when the vessel was reconstructed. To position this record in the database it has been assigned to the Borden block and coordinates of the town of Perth where the vessel is stored.
