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.

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

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

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.

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.
