Southwestern pottery

[Neanderthal]

I was testing out a camera new lens the other day and took this "quicky" pic of a few southwestern vessels from my collection (Anasazi, Mimbres, Zuni Polychrome, etc).

nice....and the story behind them?

Beautiful.....hey...I have a question.

Is there much chance that any pottery could survive in Missouri? I don't mean intact stuff like you've show above...I are there materials, broken or otherwise in the dirt or in creeks etc that would still be recognizable? And a second question....what about bone tools?

Beautiful pieces of Pottery. I love the designs on these types. But I am more impressed with the Beads and Necklaces.

Yes, there have been some incredible vessels found in Missouri. Some of the best head pots came from the Campbell site in Pemiscot County.

Matt, beautiful layout. I like the scattering of smaller items around them. Very cornucopia like.

If you don't mind me picking your brain, this is one of the few Southwest pottery items I own, any ideas which group made it?

Great photo Matt would make a nice postcard .

All I can say is that is a fine photo, but I'm like the Grim I love those beads.

Really cool! Are these specimens, ones that you actually found or were they traded or purchased?

I wish I could say that they're personal finds, but they aren't. I've purchased them from various sources over the years; all collected from private lands.

That's a nice bowl, Joshua. To me, it looks Tularosa. Tularosa usually have tighter lines than Reserve, with the cross-hatched and solid elements being pretty similar in width.

In my opinion, the tiny heishi stone & bone beads (like these) from the desert southwest would be the hardest to make. They are just a shade larger than historic glass seed beads...not by much!

Dude! Beautiful artifacts. I'm a bit jealous to tell the truth. Where do you purchase these things? Also, your first photo is really cool. Nice photography!
