Got any punched? Those are incised aren't they?

Thanks, had no idea that pottery that early had that much work (detail).

Cool pottery. Sponge tempered? Awesome pieces...our earliest pottery here in Connecticut. Was soapstone bowls. ... steatite.

Sponge that a new on but makes sense in the area .
Very nice .

Man, that’s nice stuff. That would be way more modern if it were found here. Our “old” stuff looks like a drunk third grader made it with a blindfold on. This is a piece I saw today , what we call mid to late woodland pottery, grit tempered.

Very nice designs on those pieces. I haven't found a nice piece in a while, thanks for sharing it
