I have never found any pottery or anything like it. But I came upon these 3 in one of my local sites. It was 100% out of place, and being a rock hound a know a normal rock when I see one. (Or at least I think I do) but one thing for sure is it didn’t belong where it was. Is it pottery?!?

I have a pile of broken pottery all from the same dump .I have not found anything that has any markings that would give a hint as to the maker .The pictures you posted do not look like the pieces I have .But different makers and time periods are possible .A few look like it could be for example #2 and#5. The others I just can't say either way I attached a pic of some I have

Sure is and all appear prehistoric. What else are you finding on that site?

Looks like pottery to me sportsmanal

Indeed it could very well be much older and than would look different from the pic I included .I think what I have been finding is from the mid 1800 's or newer

Definitely look that site over for other artifacts.

The darker ones look like crockery and what is known in NC as either salt or alkaline glazed and the others look Native American to me.

I’ll post another pic later of one that I believe has fine working lines.

The earliest Indian pottery was the thickest. As they got better at making pottery, it got much thinner. Gary

Temper and technique are far more useful diagnostic tools that thickness. Some of the pottery I've found on Woodland sites is pretty thick.

Probably cordage wrapped pottery, looking forward to the pics.
