Found on Suwannee River at a seriously pottery rich site. Pottery is a newer artifact maybe up to 3500 years ago. Tells a great deal about the type of culture. A collectable and well documented.

Interesting Jim, we've found similar shards on a barrier island along the coast. I think we read they were from Creek Indian culture.

Interesting Jim, we've found similar shards on a barrier island along the coast. I think we read they were from Creek Indian culture. Patty Most spearheads and arrowheads are older being that pottery was a relatively new introduction. And agriculture began in later years reducing meat consumption. Creek Seminole Cherokee etc are very new cultures. Your Seminoles were the ones that whipped the paleface. They never could pry them out of those thick Florida scrub forests. And they were sitting ducks when entering the thick cover. The Seminoles may be the only culture in N America the whites could not defeat or move from their native land. Not that they were the most sadistic, our dear Etowah culture around Atlanta was into child sacrifice according to burial findings. And the Creeks had an affinity for over sized phallic stone carvings go figure. I'm not asking questions lol !! I noticed the Savannah River peoples were making pottery much earlier like 2500 to 3500 years ago as opposed to the typical 1500 years ago. Some of these cultures had some very peculiar behaviors. I am planning day trips to Lee County Alabama. I was watching a Youtube video of a kid collecting points made of some wicked fine colored quartzites. The creeks he was collecting in were loaded with some of the finest quartzite colors and patterns imaginable. His focus was points. Being closer to home I will have to find these creeks. I will share if I can score finding them. I'll post my map system/method on another thread here in fossils and artifacts.
