Excellent outing Calabash. Keep on keeping on. 👍

Wow! Very old glass bottles and probably older native pottery! And in such good contition.
Do you have any idea of the tribe and time of the pottery? I'd be interested to know. And it would be interesting to know the age of some of the older bottles.

Pottery is imo Mississippian cord marked !

IMO the pottery is Mississippian culture cord marked 1700 to 1000 bc

What an amazing collection of relics! A small history museum laid out on a table. The Native American vessels are the most impressive IMO. Incredible!

Well done! It would be hard to walk away from a place like that. Hope you get to go back soon.

Thank you for the replies on the bottle age and pottery type. Fascinating!

What an epic hunt. You guys were on a really good site. Native Americans lived there as well as colonial settlers at a later time. I bet a sifter would have produced a lot of flint.. As that ivory dries he may want to consider a cyanoacrylate glue. It will keep it from peeling apart.
You guys knocked it out of the park. CONGRATULATIONS on your epic hunt.

Can a person sift underwater?
Or did you mean the banks/shore of the water?

Yes. I have a bucket sifter I use underwater. You scoop up and shake. I think he was 30" deep with mud bottom so he would have to surface. Looks like he did not need it. Current works best.

Absolutely amazing dive! And with such terrible visibility too. Of course, the terrible visibility is probably why they were still there for you to discover.
So were the native pots hung up holding things for cooking and storage? I've never seen anything like them and they wouldn't have been able to stand up.

 

[Calabash Digger]

I really do not know how they used them. I think they stood them up in the fire and hung them up..

Crazy cool variety of artifacts!
