Pottery Find

[wxdawg03]

I've found pottery sherds many times where I look while taking mountain biking breaks near a creek in northwest Georgia. But, this is this first time I've found an intact base of some kind of pottery with stamping and that was pretty darn exciting for me considering I thought it was a rock!

Nice little bowl base

Might be a finished piece im not seeing any fractures on the lip section. Maybe Hal will see it and know for sure. Really nice find.

Let's see the bottom to.

Here's the bottom.

Nice piece, can’t tell much about design but looks like Swift Creek complicated stamped..The other pottery pieces you showed several posts ago look like they’re from the same pot, .I would keep all those sherds together, good chance of finding most of that pot..

Ducco!

Way cool find!

[redrocks]

Nice find .. congrats!

That's fantastic.

Sorry Cecilia, but don't use Duco, Elmer's glue is water soluble, so if you need to reposition a piece you can soak it and re-attach it. I agree it could be a complete Bowel with rim damage. Kim

Sorry, Kim, but I follow (or I would, if had an ancient pot to reconstruct, which I don’t) Master Hal’s recipe of duco, Elmer’s, acetone. I learned from him that straight Elmer’s turns yellow after time. But again, alas, I have no personal finds needing fixing....I can only dream!

Awesome save, a lot of the rim looks intact to me. Amazing it survived in such great shape!

[wxdawg03]

Thanks y'all. Funny thing is I found it when it lodged in some silt with the bottom facing up. Thought it was just a rock and picked it up for some reason and I was absolutely stunned when I saw what it was.

I've yet to find one intact just pieces

That is AWESOME! Great find!
