Album Unique, not seen finds - Post yours

Not super exciting, but I found this little jawbone while I was wandering around this afternoon. About an inch and half long or so20161013_113253.jpg .

found a possible pottery production site and/or midden pile

this first photo is only about half of the pottery sherds that were present. it was a mix of multiple styles.

View attachment 6532

this knuckle was also in the mix

View attachment 6533

the entire site was at the edge of a gully that was washing out. from below, one can readily see the layer of ash/charcoal in the soil

View attachment 6534

there were plenty more sherds precipitating out of the sides of this as well as being scattered around the entire area nearby.

I can't get the context from the photo but if there is no known ruin there and the wall I am looking at is split by arroyo or wash, this could be a pit house.
 
I think this would fit in this thread....probably my most awesome find ever! Unfortunately, it was found in a high-traffic area near a popular trailhead, so I thought it would be best to report this one to the BLM archaeologist rather than have it disappear. It has been safely recovered and will eventually be on display at the BLM Visitor Center in St. George. More of the story can be found at the end of this trip report: http://adventr.co/2018/01/coyote-buttes-south-2/

What a great find!
 
In case anyone is interested, the BLM posted a short article about this on their blog yesterday: http://mypubliclands.tumblr.com/post/173513908005/hiker-notifies-blm-of-prehistoric-archaeological
