This is why we can't have nice things. They all get broken. Quote....Native American
These are pottery pieces that we pulled out of our local creek that span many centuries. These are both Cherokee and Catawba Indian shards. The chert cutting tool was traded into the area because we have no chert in our area. These are on top of the sand after every rain. The chert tool is a special one. I've never found another.
The black shard is Cherokee from a paddle stamping process where they carve the pattern onto a piece of wood and stamp it onto the clay. This is the earliest piece the best we can figure.
