I love your display of pottery! I have a question about how they are found. Since I creek hunt I'm curious if the river was shallow or did you find them on the banks and sand bars. I might just have to take a river walk next time I'm near it
Thanks! I find most of it on the bars and banks in between the fluctuations of the water levels. It seems that the shards are placed on top of bars do to the lightness of it?? I have found a bunch of it and some rocks....wish I could find more rocks!
Cool frames,,,,now for the dumb question. How do you get the pottery to stay where you put it when you hang the frame up?? What holds it in place? I found a midden in Georgetown county that was so big it was an island, but attached to the mainland. The shore was littered with pottery. I dug and collected probably 50lbs. of pieces. That was just 8inches deep in a very small area. Some decorated, some not. but all of it is decaying. Its below the high tide mark (one area) and it sits in damp soil constantly. Never found a rock or a flake or tool of any kind. If interested I`ll pm the area for you to check out. I hate that its going to waste.
Thanks. My girlfriend made them and honestly, I am not sure what she used to hold the pieces in place. Some type of light non-damaging adhesive...I'll have to ask her. I'd be happy to check out that spot for you
