- This is a photograph of a fragment of a Cherokee clay pot with a check stamp design. It was recovered in Chota by the University of Tennessee in 1969. Chota was recognized by Europeans as well as other Indians for its powerful social and economic influence and was regarded as the capital of the Cherokee nation. Excavations were conducted in anticipation of the flooding of the Lower Little Tennessee River by the Tellico Dam Reservoir. The university worked under contract with the National Park Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Principal investigator, Alfred K. Guthe. Field Director, J. Worth Greene.
