Two oval bowls with bits and pottery shards

......the orange one on the left looks older than the rest, or at least by a novice artist maybe?

Real nice stuff.. that type of painted pottery is very diagnostic.
Looks like it came from a very sheltered area.

Any chance of seeing the bottom of the bowls? I know in ancient time around here they had feet on them. I have actually found a foot of a bowl.

Nice, I always do 2 or 3 types of hunts as Im out and about. I am finding early settlers pieces of bowls and plates, but nothing like you posted yet. Im in southern New Mexico. Save some for the rest of us, thats a great hunt.

Thanks for the view of the bottoms.

 

[curious kat]

Your welcome rock....and thanks everyone

I wonder why they made them that shape.... They are awesome.

EFFIGY SHELL BOWLS@!!!@!

They really do look like shells, especially the small one!

 

[curious kat]

Think maybe it has to do with "fitting" the owners hand tom. If you tried it, it really just feels more comfortable, more so than the "round" ones..... custom made maybe? lol
