I found this piece of pottery on the Beach and the area is know for native American tribes. The Euchee*tribe*was in that area where i found this pottery on The Beach and there was a military fort nearby built in 1897. Could it be to The fort could The pottery belong to one of The Euchee tribe? Or different tribe? Reproduction new or old What type of material is this pottery clay? How it became so smooth?i guess in picture 7 is how it was originally like a pot?.

You ask age and ID, it isn't any kind of arrowhead, knife or point so there is no id or age. Native Americans usually put something in their clay when making pottery to temper it to make it stronger like pebbles, sand, crushed shells, grass. Only showing one picture of edge and nothing appears to be mixed in with it.

If it is a pottery shard, one of the questions you asked was how it got so smooth. If you found it on the beach the wave action moving it back and forth in the surf smoothed it out just like sandpaper moving back and forth smooths out wood.
