Tascarora pottery shards?

[B|lker]

All found from the Knightdale area.

The piece on the right i saved because i liked its looks.

The 2 on the left could be from someones local kiln but i`ve never seen that type of material used or those type of uneven turnings from a wheel or the low glazing sheen from a kiln.
I just washed them off so they may still be wet.

Look like made on a wheel, historic, crock?

My thoughts exactly Tom. Those look like modern crockery to me as well.

I usually don't even bother with pottery in the field. I find a lot of that brown glazed crock material that was around in the late 1800's. I've always called them whiskey jugs, but there may be another name for them. I heard the way to tell pre-historic pottery from historic was 1) if there is any glaze it is historic, and 2) if it has consistent lines in a circular motion it is historic.

Don't take my word for it though. Like I said, I know very little of it.

Those sort of favor some of the old pottery made up around Seagrove NC in the 1800s using salt glazing and wood kiln firing. I have some churns and other containers from that era. Unlike LIK, I pick up any type of pottery sherds that are obviously from some other time period. Good find.

You guys and gals? are great.

Thanks for your reply's and looking.

I`ll check for consistency in the rings and possibly post better pics.
Not much light at the time of photos and they don`t really show the different materials used very well.

There were some scraps of thinner fired dishware near the empty field where i found them.

This is real authentic Indian Pottery shards from a Ft Ancient site I hunt and are anywhere from 950 to 1650 AD in age.
