Thats some thick pottery. Bowls must of been very big. They make a great display in a shadow box. I only keep the best well made designs.

Looks like " Swift Creek " Woodland Period . If it were me,,, I would report that to the State Archaeology office .

Woodland Pottery: Swift Creek

From what he has said it is private property. If he were to report it to the state and they sent a archy out and they thought maybe there was a grave the property would be shut down and fenced off. It could be a very nice score for the state but a big loss for the property owners.

I don't see anything that makes me believe it is a grave site. The State has seen more pottery shards than they ever need ,too, but there may be something significant, there, & I would think it needs to be checked . If it did turn out to be a grave site, just that one small area can be fenced & at no real loss to the owners.

Why would you want the state on your land anyways.... I'd just keep it a secret! That's just my opinion though

That's a lot of pottery .... Any other artifacts found with them?

That is Swift Creek Complicated stamped and from the look of the pottery, it may have been made during the Weeden Island time period. If I may ask, what county and what state? I have a collection of Woodland artifacts and they are similar to what you are finding.
