Re: pottery found

Looks like rolled and coiled pottery with very Anasazi-ish paint designs like this. What part of Texas are you in anyways?

Re: pottery found

Chris, you did well, first for a nice find, second for an interesting input from Mo.
All I know is that R & C manufacture technique.

What county [ and / or state ? ] What type points are you finding in the pottery area ?

Nice W. TX collection!

Re: pottery found

I find pottery shards from time to time here in Austin County. It is tempered (crushed mussel shell) material with no incised lines or paint.

Re: pottery found

i was doing some reading on the Anasazi...and realized they are from northern Arizona, new Mexico area....in into Utah and Colorado...thinking.. how the heck did this little shard of pottery that looks really similar to Anasazi work... ..i just wanted to share this. .sorry its long... but there were trade routes...

Anasazi ... a pueblo people developing from the Basketmakers and represented today by modern groups such as the Hopi and Zuni. The Anasazi occupied the northern third of Arizona and New Mexico, the southern sixth of Utah and Colorado and ranged west to Las Vegas, Nevada and east to the Rio Grande river valley. At the zenith of their development the Anasazi constructed multi storied buildings having 500 rooms or more; the population of their cities numbered in the thousands; trade networks extended to the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean and into Central Mexico; they developed agricultural and grew corn, squash and beans; they had a social system and conducted complex (religious?) ceremonies. The Anasazi culture declined in the mid 13th century due to changes in weather patterns leading to a severe, extended drought and other influences. AD 700 - 1540 .

Re: pottery found

This is a weak area for pottery and what little influence there is was probably from the Caddos. Pottery is usually associated with a sedentary-horticultural lifestyle. The Tonkawas in Austin and Fayette Counties appear to have been semi-nomadic hunter-gathers.
