Beautiful photograph! Beside that, it just blows my mind to think how old this is, that it’s been laying around for so long…I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in a country where the domestic settlement is so old. I know indigenous Australians are said to have the oldest living culture but…I don’t know, i suppose because their ways have been so tribal for most of it, this kind of ‘domesticity’ for want of a better word is different. Bah- I’m so not making sense now.
Thank you, m’dear, and I do know what you mean. When I stand on a site and realize that the bits and pieces around me on the ground were made a thousand years ago it’s quite humbling.
Beautiful and interesting shot! I have a pot shard from the desert very similar to this, when we visited we didn’t take any, but some time later my friend revisited the spot and took one to send to me, since I thought it was so awesome when we were there…I don’t think you’re supposed to remove them though… :-(
Well, I won’t tell anyone, but don’t take anymore! It’s very hard to resist picking up beautiful things. It seems to give us some kind of tangible connection to that place or time.

I love the contrasting colour in this shot. The leave curling is in just a perfect spot. Very nice.
reminds me of the pieces of delf that i dug out of my garden … some items dated back to 1863
That is really really cool!

It’s hard to keep from grabbing this one up, too. I saw so much of it in Nevada. =0)
Really? This was from an archaeological site very near the Four corners – Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloan.

There is a lot of pottery like this in the Beaver, Utah area too…
Very similar native groups in that area – your pottery might belong to the Virgin River Anasazi. It’s all so beautiful!
