Modoc Bowl

[fossis]

This is a "Modoc" bowl from the Tule Lake area of CA,
I tried for several years to buy it, but was not able to until
the lady passed away, & her daughter sold it to me, it sat in
her flower bed for years, it was brought to OK many years
ago.
It is made from lava rock, & was probably used for grinding
acorns or corn, it is about two feet tall.

This area of CA, had one of the last Indian battles, Capt
Jack, was their leader, they were finally starved out of the
"Lava beds" & surrendered.

Hi Fossis, that's a really nice artifact. Thanks for posting a picture of it, now I know there's better things than just heads to be found. Good luck hunting! Jim

Hey Jim, most of these were probably gathered in
the 1800's & passed on down through the familie's, it's
doubtful many still exist unless they are underground, in
food cache pit's or such as that.

HH, Fossis.............

Fossis you're right. I doubt I'd ever find anything like that, but it has got me thinking I should be looking for other objects besides arrowheads. Still that' a nice artifact you have. Good luck hunting! Jim
