Today we headed into the wilderness above Lake Roosevelt. Our theory was that the recent rains would bring out artifacts. It turned out to be so true. We revisited an old spot we have been to many times. Amazing how many new pot shards came to the surface. You could not look anywhere without finding the tupperware of the ancient people. High above the lake we found some nice black on white and some nice large pieces of pottery.
One interesting find was a large piece that confirmed what brother in law Ned had said. About two weeks ago we discussed how pottery was made. Ned mentioned that baskets were used as forms. One large piece Kadizzle found today confirmed this. Clearly on the pottery you could see it had been formed in a basket. Pictures will follow if The Commander will let me use the other computer.
