Today's pottery

Now that we've cleaned up some of the big debris, it hasn't been safe to walk under a large tree that is stuck there until today so I decided to dig in the bank of the creek in a spot where I've had really good luck with shards and points. Haven't had much rain either so digging and raking are the only way to get things to move around. I found these 3 in the same spot. The larger one is a Burke Phase one and the way to tell is it's tempered with soapstone, there is a fabric impressed pattern on it but it's hard to see in the pic. The other two I'm not sure of the time periods for them, although the triangular one looks to be tempered with soapstone as well. According to the archies here that makes them Mississippian est. year A.D. 1400-1600. Hoping to find some stone stuff too and have next week off so when I'm not doing Spring cleaning in the yard and house I will be out in the creek poking around. Thanks for looking! HH

Today it's supposed to be 70 and sunny but the rest of the week thunderstorms, so we're going to try to make a dent in the mowing (riding lawn mower is down for now so push mowing about 3 acres) and we have 2 new raised beds to fill up and prepare for planting (son sells hot peppers to local eateries). We were in the creek most the day yesterday but I found nothing so the t-storms will be a welcome wash. Good luck,rock, in your hunting after your rains!

Hi Peaches...yes, had a nice Easter, hope the same for you & maybe you got to look more in the creek? I haven't been doing a lot of "hunting" this year so far, been busy with some family things, but will start back soon. You & rock sure have been having great luck so far this year, love seeing that!

don't go by the weather report they are usually wrong. We got about an inch of rain just enough to muddy the creek. Im going to another creek I have permission cause they have started on the fields now. It my time for the dry season hunts Winter is over
