Would anyone know what culture and how old this pottery might be? Found along the grand river in southern Ontario.
This one piece on the bottom left is very thick. Sorry about the blurry pics.

Pictures aren't the greatest but they are of examples in your general area. Maybe you can find the original link, probably better photos.
Searching the fields of NW Indiana and SW Michigan -
The top two pieces are Iroquois, probably Mohawk, 1400 A.D. - 1600 A.D. The bottom left piece is a Point Peninsula body shard, Vinette Type 1, called Rocker Stamped, 240 A.D. - 400 A.D. The middle is also Point Pensinsula, but later. This a a Jacks Reef corded and punctuate design, 400 A.D. - 800 A.D. The last piece is the bottom of a small bowl, and probably Point Peninsula also. Without knowing the exact sites, the dates could be a little off, but are close. Each culture can be identified more by their pottery types than the arrowheads they made. Pottery types were almost always influenced by the preceding culture and there's an over lap in time and style of pottery.Comment
