Gift for the property owner.

[rock]

I threw this together for the property owner and dated most of the pottery then researched it for the period. Most is from the middle woodland and then printed a page for information for them to read how the pottery was made. It can go on the wall or any place they choose to put it. Half is from where they let me hunt at. Its their Christmas present for this yr. Hope they find it interesting, rock
I forgot to say I am in GA the northern part. This type of pottery is found in GA,TN,Ala and FL.

very thoughtful

 

[NCPeaches]

So sweet! I'm sure they will love it and find it interesting.

 

[GatorBoy]

Your a good man.
Nice job.
I'd say that check stamped "paddle marked" pieces are a bit newer.

I was speaking from my knowledge of Florida forgetting about the fact that pottery goes way back in your state... After looking into it quickly I believe that check stamp pottery does go back into the woodland period in your area.

Cool pottery finds for the owner!

 

[rock]

Yes it does. There are some Mississippian pieces in the mix. There is one sherd with a eye design on it from the M period. It was just to cool not to put it in.
Thanks for the help on the dating of the pieces GB.

I put a piece which is my only piece of a corn cob print in the frame also. The checked stamped is a local find from the creek of the property owner. Those date 2900-1500 BP, now where is all the good flint pieces hiding?

You live in the cradle of pottery. Nice frame and am sure they will be much appreciated. You are a good man Rock!

 

[Jon Stewart]

Good job Rock. You have to take care of the landowners. I bow hunt a 90 acre piece and the owners requests a 12 pack of Bud light so I drop off a case.

One thing that I do where ever I park whether it be public or private land is that I police the area of trash and take it with me.

Nice frame Rock, and a good deed

 

[Americus]

That is a nice gesture on your part, Rock.

 

[katdancing]

Well done & very kind of you. Am sure they will treasure your gift.

 

[mainejman]

Very nice rock.It lets them take pride in knowing they have special land.Also quite a conversation piece for guests...

 

[rock]

I gave it to him today. I gave them one about 6 months ago with stone artifacts but have lost the pic of it now. He said they hung the other one up above their fireplace in the main room. He said he was going to put this one next to it. He then told me he liked all of the NA artifacts but has always been to busy with the fields that he never had the time to look for them. He gave me a big smile and said thank you. That was the best gift anyone could give me.

Property owners deserve a guy like you quite the gentleman rock ... Good form !!!!

 

[NC field hunter]

I must say you are a good man Rock. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. If you spark an interest in the land owner, you may create competition for yourself. Lol!

 

[rock]

No he is very ill and cant do much anymore. I have offered to take him many times to look with me but the illness is getting worse now.

 

[curious kat]

What thoughtful gift that is rock...you are so nice to have done that!
