Hi all!
Been awhile since I've posted.
But I scored me a new permission
cornfields and creek. Been searching it
the last few weeks have about 20 hours
Into this field now. So the land is known to be
Part of the Nueter nation here in western NY.
I know the time frame the land was in use by them
at least according to our history books. But any info on anything you see here would be amazing. 20210426_211720.jpg

Club/Axe? The rock next to it is flint full of crystals.

Last pictures are natural rock, your back ground is way to busy you need to take pictures with them on a white back ground

Impossible to date plain pottery unless you study the temper, clays etc..closeups of decorated pieces is your best bet.
