Pinch Pots

As I was walking through a grassy field something caught my attention. I stepped on something and heard a “crackling” noise. Luckily what I had stepped on didn't break. I picked it up to see what it was,but I didn't know what it was. I took it home to my mom and asked her if she knew what is was. She said,she thinks it's a pinch pot. We didn't know much about it ,so we took it to a museum to find out more information. My mom was right, it was a pinch pot. The man who worked there (named,Jordan), said the pinch pot was over four-thousand years old, and was made by Native Americans,that was so astonishing. He also said, it was used for cooking,serving,or storing food. After I left the museum I did a little research for my own benefit. I found out that another use of pinch pots is art/design. I also found out that some pinch pots have Effigies. Effigies are symbols that tell something. It turns out that Native Americans were the first to make pinch pot's.

It was a very legit site and gave me the important information that I needed. It didn't take me long to find this site at all.
