Can't wait to investigate!

On a jet ski one day and saw this object embedded in river bank after a huge tree fell exposing it. This is at a productive Middle Woodland village site and it certainly appears man made. I can't get good access to it until the winter draw down lowers the water level about 5 feet.

Good access, bad access, pottery doesn't last long like that...

put on your muck boots and get to it or it will disappear....

Pipe? Drainage?

This is now 3 or 4 feet under water after Ida. Will go as soon as they release so it's visible.

This was farmland and never developed beyond that, so doubt it.

Field drainage pipe then.

Field drainage pipe then.

I doubt it...no reason to neck down the end of a drain pipe...would just cause it to back up with silt eventually

Why didn't you just get it and see what it was right then?

 

[choo]

Yeah why didn’t you get it water doesn’t look like that deep to me!

Maybe there are alligators. . . or rabid beavers down there, and that bit of pottery is just bait put out there by them to lure unsuspecting humans.

I would've found a way to get that, definitely wouldn't have left it behind. Hopefully no one else hunts that area and that it'll be there when you go back.

Good luck in your retrieval!

Attached to a Russian Sub no doubt...

I've dug lots of Mississippian bottles and jars in Arkansas, and not uncommon to see them on their side. Probably some other things eroding out, or already down in the water.

Pipe incased in concrete.

Gloryhole?
