Four centuries after someone shaped a small clay vessel by hand, University of Florida students lifted it from the soil completely intact.

The pot, likely made by a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe, is compact enough to sit in one palm.

The discovery came during a visit to Mission San Francisco de Potano in northwest Gainesville.
