Pic #5 shows on the site I just looked at as being Early Woodland and the other were Late Woodland periods. The area where I hunt and find pottery its all over the time frames from stone bowl all the way to Mississippian. Its not unusual to find more than 1 period in a good location. I bet you had fun.

...not glazed you say but just wet, thanks for letting me know that. I thought it was glazed because it looked like the one Tn sent me that is shiny....so guess there are some like that, wonder why...

If you read back gator had a response about the shiny stuff I am far from an expert on this stuff but I'm learning

Kat sometimes I pull out better pieces to frame in shadow boxes and will sometimes poly them with a satin. My bad I may have sent you one or two that I fancied for framing. Probably not the best thing to do but I like it.

My uncle tells of when he was a young man living on the family farm in henderson county illinois.They use to dig irrigation ditches by hand.He said they used to find whole pots.They would set them up on the ground while they finished digging.After the sun hit them they crumbled.Indian artifacts back in the day just werent very important to farmers.He said they had an indian mound on the family property that was big enough that their tractor could barely climb it.Now when i go back there it is just a bump in the field.Theres alot of sand in the dirt and theres barely any mound left.
