Before I begin posting some pics a little about myself and Indian Artifacts--I'm from a part of Arizona referred to as the White Mountains or my extensively, the Colorado Plateau. My home town is built on a ruin and there are two bigger ruins in the immediate vicinity. In the wider area there are ruins everywhere. My dad has at least 10 on his ranch. Pottery is something that is so abundant that nobody really pays any attention to it. Really, everyone I know is more in to the pot rather than the pieces and a remarkable number of pots have been found in that area. I have seen pottery all my life and never picked up a piece until I got married and my husband started picking it up. I now have buckets of the stuff (my family and friends laugh that I pick it up and have told me I'm the only one they know who does). I've actually developed a real interest in it and have been studying it. People don't know what they're missing! (and really, it leaves more for me!)
The same thing goes for any artifact that isn't a point. People don't even recognize that there are other things out there and some have argued with me that the scrapers and such are something. For me it's led to a windfall of scrapers, spokeshaves and the like. It's crazy. Last night I found two buckets of them I'd completely forgotten about. (I hope I'm not comeing off as snide or anything. I know that people search and search for these things without luck).
So, without further ado here's some pottery...
(I hope everyone contributes because I'd love to see what is produced in other parts of the country.)
