Scweet finds, I have a collection also on shelves and in case's and boxes and piled on this desk even hehehe, mostly personal finds of mine but also
some fine Anasazi pottery I bought(handle one vessel made by those peoples and you are hooked for some of your own unless you have no soul hehehe).
There is alot to be learned from ancient americans and how they moved through their world, Thanks for the look...Please re-think giving to any museum
or Uni. they will be stored in a cardboard box and NEVER seen again, better to give to a good friend....The longer stemmed ones on right side are
Savannah Rivers, late archaic to woodland, 5000-2000 years before present, the small triangle is a Clarksville, late pre-historic, 1000-500 bp., the
diamond shaped critter in bottom row is a Morrow Mountian, Middle archaic, 7000-5000bp., the little triangle dude up top row left looks
Dalton/Alamance ish which date to late paleo to early archaic, 10,000 to 8200 years ,but could be some type of triangle???... Your pottery shards are
the early type, cant remember the name. Sand was used as temper for pottery, when fired it would strengthen the vessel. Crushed Shell and fired
crushed pottery was also used by some culture's to temper the pottery....Another Glorious Day to Excel...Oh the bigger blade on left is a preform,
they would make a bunch of these to make carrying easyer then as needed pressue flake into wanted shape, they were also used as is for a "quick"
knife.
