Hello. This is my first post to this forum. Nice to meet you all.
I found a completely intact Lenape pottery vessel. I scouted an undeveloped wooded lot nearby and determined where the brook flowed before it was redirected to accomodate the housing development. After finding a dipped path that I determined to be part of the dried riverbed, I brushed the layers of leaves off the surface and this neatly popped out of the soil into my lap. I have been uncovering Eastern Woodland artifacts for years and I must say this is the best pottery find I have found. Completely intact! I determine it to be middle Woodland period. I live in Central NJ where the Unami speaking Lenape people lived. Their pottery style is similar to that of the geographically adjoining Iroquoian, Munsee, and Susquehannock peoples.
Notice the linework, shaping, the lip at the mouth of the vessel, and also the simple human face design at the bottom of the inside of the vessel.
