A small collection of pot sherds, ceramic pipes, ceramic figurines and pipe fragments was recovered from the upper levels of the Loernzen site in 1960. At the time it was an unexpected occurrence. Today ceramics from the upper Pit River form part of a growing distribution of pottery, ceramic pipes and ceramic figurines in northern California and southwest Oregon. The pottery from the Lorenzen site is similar to pottery on the upper Klamath River and upper Rogue River known as Siskiyou Utility Ware. It is proposed that the Lorenzen pottery can be considered a variant of Siskiyou Utility Ware based on similarities in vessel shape and manufacturing techniques.
