Cambria Village (21BE2) in southern Minnesota appears to be a single component agricultural site, occupied between A. D. 1000 and 1300, The ceramics from the village are predominantly grit tempered jars, with smoothed and rounded bodies, and well-defined shoulders. A small percentage of the vessels have rolled rims, and are classified as Powell Plain and Ramey Broad Trailed, while the majority are organized and described under three new ceramic types. The type Judson Composite combines a shallow S-rim with Mississippian body decoration; Linden Everted Rim exhibits the same decor treatment; and Mankato Incised, also an everted rim form, is characterized by a unique, triangle punctate, shoulder area pattern. Cambria’s strongest affiliations appear to be with the Over Focus and Anderson Phase sites in South Dakota, with major influences from Cahokia, Aztalan, and some Woodland sources. The result is a ceramic assemblage showing a great deal of cultural integration as well as local innovation
