      Really neat design Tam looked through a book on that pottery type and did not see a design like that may be an undiscovered design.

          You know what gets me on this pottery is how thin it really is . Why they made it like that . The obvious to me is it’s going to crack much easier but I am sure they learned through trial
          and error this worked best .
          But what was held in such thin pots .
          Enquiring minds need to know .
          my next project .... get back to ya

            A striking potsherd Tam - could it be that you've found one of the 'Lost Tribes of Israel'??

            If the women don\'t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                  You are welcome . Looking for the other pieces . You know what the armadillos are rooting up the soil and unlike hogs leave delicate piles for the rain .

                That’s about as good as it gets without finding a whole pot! Very nice Tam, and great pics.

                  A couple links for those that would like to know more about Swift Creek Pottery..

                  Collections held by natural history museums are like a library of life, with millions of objects that document change through time in the environment and in life itself. These records of life on Earth become even more vital as we face global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

                    Very nice Olden it makes me wonder what I would find if I dug that deep . Most of our finds are surface so you can imagine. Or animals just going down 1/2 ft with rain . Pottery on my property with no stamp and the Archaic point tells me I have a fun future there .

                      I would have given up the ghost. That is an awesome piece! How in tarnation did they get it to look like that?

                        That is a paddle stamp . It’s the swiftcreek tribe . It’s on the link . They would carve it into wood paddle then apply it . I actually tried that technique and it never comes out as good .
