Got this at the Flea today. Fella was selling all sorts of local (NC) artifacts. He had boxes full of partial arrowheads,tools,pottery pieces etc. Pulled this mostly intact bowl from the pile.

I'm all for acting like adolescents...but i don't like fighting
couldn't we go back to talking about cup sizes for the rest of this thread?

I am certainly eager to see the documentation you promise. I'll bet that Native Americans never thought to suspend a clay cooking pot above the coals. A spit, a tripod . . . Nawww.

All he has to do is study indigenous pottery of North Carolina and the answers will be right in front of him. instead he wants to be smug.

 

[SOHIO]

Looks like your gonna have to study some indigenous NC pottery and find all the answers harry....

maybe thats why he isnt responding...

I just posted this in a thread a few days ago, but since we are on the topic of NC pottery this is one found that a friend gave me.

Really?? That's your documentation? Here's what that gloss says:

To make a piece of pottery, the
potter would first shape the bottom of the vessel from long coils or ropes of clay, and then add other coils to build the sides of the pot.
After the pottery vessel was shaped, the potter would smooth the inside and outside surfaces with his or her fingers, or a piece of shell or stone. Smoothing the pottery helped hold the coils together. . . .

Most vessels North Carolina Indians crafted were used for cooking. Typically, foods were boiled by placing the pot directly over a fire. Thus, cooking pots were usually deep bowls or jars. The latter had pointed bases which could be placed upright in deep ash. [emphasis added]
​

I don't find anything in there about pots sitting directly in coals, nothing. I find nothing about green branches to brace a pot upright. I see nothing about cooking stones. "[D]irectly over a fire" indicates nothing about how the pot was supported. Ash is what's left after a fire. Ambiguous stuff.

I'm not wasting my time with you anymore. For as smart as you seem at times you amaze me with your foolishness. Have fun. You obviously have a lot of learning to do. You also changed the quote in that report to suit your fancy. Anyone who reads it will see the part that you changed.

Alright! I would call that documentation! Excellent stuff, Griswold.

I want to share that account of Cherokee potting with a friend who is a potter. Thanks!

 

[GatorBoy]

It took him five minutes to find that.
