    Wierd peice? Help!

    What did I find? It looks like a peice of ceramic or other material with a glaze. One side orangish the other white with a napped edge around part of it. Is this material old enough to be here when the indians were? Got me boggled. It comes off a site with history from 6000 yrs ago till about 100 yrs ago. Constant habitation so we find all kinds of stuff there but this is the 1st peice that ive found that looks to be indian handywork on whitemans material. What yall think

    It darnwell looks worked to me ,anyway I look at it,stoneware crocks and jugs date back to the mid to late 1800's through the 1900's ,so it could be of late missisipian culture.

    I had a cousin that was a pretty good knapper. I have seen him take big thick pieces of one of those big broken crock containers like the old timers used to put pickles up in or ferment wine in and knapp the slick glaze on both sides off the piece then make point's out of them. He could knapp some pretty good looking pieces. The ceramic looked a bit strange after the glaze was knapped off the material all looked the same it looked chalky white. I agree crock has been around a good long time maybe a late period indian a early settler might have tried his hand a knapping you'll never know for sure but I agree it does looked worked by somebody interesting.

    I've found pieces like that in and around creeks. I think it's possible to get that worked edge look from creek tumble, being stepped on, etc. Jmo.

    I considered that too but the way the knapping continues right along the tip of it makes me think not.
