    I have found several broken shards very similar to the one you describe at 10:00 around my property, especially down by the creeks. I wasn't sure if it was historic or not but I kept it just in case.

    My 2 plus acres is nothing but old indian mounds that used to be in the middle of an ancient waterway. The entire property is covered in pottery, carved stone effigies, stone tools and iron slag. I don't think all were small groups of hunter gatherers as they don't smelt iron. Every single ditch for miles has pottery in it, some places with hundreds of sherds on the surface. The roads either go through or over the mounds and it goes on for miles and miles. I contacted LSU .and they said they'd come help in excavation but it's been over a year now. I literally have piles of rocks and pottery all over because i find them after it rains or when i'm planting. I keep then in piles close to where they're found. Lots of teeth, and even carved ones.

      Talk to your local reservations! They could be really interested in having some of that back. If that’s not an option, or for the things they don’t want, talk to a local museum! They would love to get their hands on the artifacts.

      It is the same on my place in Alabama. They were definitely smelting copper and some of the artifacts have been exposed to extreme heat

    Indiana Thick pottery had shells broken up and mixed in. Found alot along numerous rivers where villages were. The rims are rounded on some have holes in it,I assume for ropes to hang them over fires.

    Very interesting this topic on ceramics. The 3 great tribes that inhabited here in Baja California Sur, Mexico, were completely unaware of the knowledge of ceramics. Their knowledge was very little compared to contemporary cultures at that time. They were nomads and they never sowed, the Spanish came and finished them. Greetings..

      I know the peoples of the Southwest made and make a lot of pottery and participated in long-distance trade.

    Would appreciate a video showing the methods that Native American tribes used to create the various outside ornamental finishes on the pottery.

      You're looking for Andy Ward. He has a channel all about how the Indians of the Southwest made/make their pottery.

    Hi Dr. Connie,
    I was told by a pottery expert in England that the large, red clay pottery sherd I had was Woodland. My daughter found it when she was younger while we were swimming in Lake Michigan. Would you be able to help identify it? It’s a very large piece (3 &1/2” X 3”), about 1/2” thick, and (I think) it’s the rim from a very large vessel. It looks like it is a partially-fired, redder clay with fine and coarse inclusions. It was decorated towards the top with 3 successive levels of punctate marks, going from small to smallest, with a few very slender lines running horizontally underneath those. The outside and inside both look either burnished or smoothed, because it is slightly shiny. I’d be happy to send you photos! As it is sentimental to me, I treasure it but would really like it to be assessed and recorded for others to see on the internet (but I’ll always keep it!). ❤
    Thank you,
    Kelly😊

    Thanks for this, however, I was confused about the part on the bricks which showed a smaller orangish brick as well. Were you saying all 3 in that picture were historic era or was the small orange piece something else? I have dug up similar chunks of orange porous "bricks?" but looks like it had straw or something that had since fallen out of the holes. Also, I've found Indian stone artifacts in the same area. I'm hoping to get some answer as to what these orange chunks are...maybe fired clay? We have clay ground here. I'm in Ohio, by the way.
