Some of this I dug the other day. Some was laying around where others had been digging and must not care for pottery. We were near the west coast Cedar Key area.

Dave , that sure looks like the Stamped Swiftcreek pottery I find in Georgia . They have other branches like the Santa Rosa tribes . It’s a little N of your area . But who is to say they didn’t teach and learn this technique as far down as crystal river .Attached FilesComment

We find so much of it that I do leave pieces like that for the next guy . I find piles that others leave as well . If it’s a well established camp you stumble over it .Comment

I have to agree with Hal, save it all. Different times I have found pieces that fit together. Besides they always make a very nice frame of pattern styles. KKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.Comment

Some sites the “save it all” Mentality would lead to a broken back.😇
I could take you to dozens of Mississippian sites where you could fill buckets with pottery sherds and never make a dent.Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.Comment
