New Piece

[rock]

Well I found a new piece of pottery for my frame yesterday. This design I dont have yet. Found 2 broken points just the bases both same type just different material. The pottery dates 700 B.P. in that time frame give or take a 100 years. Its Cobb marked and is Middle Mississippian period. You can date a site by the pottery design or a point if you know how to look. I have found all periods in the area but looks like the last flood we had it washed out a Mississippian period. Maybe next time some older pieces will fall in.
Cobb Marked 600-700 B.P.

Hey Rock, I have tons of pottery, but not sure where to look to date them. Can you give me some insight on where to look? If you look thru my previous posts, maybe you could help me, or I can repost them. I never thought about trying to date the pottery, but I have lots of it!! thanks

nice finds rock. Haven't found any Mississippian period artifacts around here yet. Found a couple Woodland period piece's in the past. Most of the sites I hunt seem to be Early to late Archaic camps/settlement's. Looking at artifacts, the Mississippian culture made some very nice stuff. Would like to find some of those points one of these days.

Well this book helps and it will cover your area to. I have met the man many times that wrote it. I have given him many pieces in the past. Just google it and see if any come up for purchase. If you cant find any send me a pm and I will give you the info on where you might get one. Its a easy understanding book and has pics for each example. The book examples are mostly southern states. I really like it due to I can remember every design as to where it is from and each period of age. Have to take a pic of it.

Okay here is the book. Each state is defined as the types and ages.

I knew you would like it. If you look at the center you can see where they rolled the cob all the way across. I was happy to find something worthy of the trip.

Your welcome, the price was a tad bit higher than I thought it would of been after I gave him a nice piece of rare pottery for his display but I wanted the book so I paid it.
