Indian Village researchers find pot completely intact - Daily Republic
The discovery was made Saturday at the Thomsen Archeodome during the village's annual Archeology Awareness Days held at the site along Lake Mitchell. Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village Executive Director Cindy Gregg said the findings created a clear sense of excitement. She said the small size of the item could have been one of the reasons it has stayed as one piece after an estimated 1,000 years. Last month, researchers for the first time found 1,000-year-old charred corn and sunflower seeds at the site, and also found small corn cobs that affirmed that the people living along Firesteel Creek had a diverse diet and were seasoned farmers. After the seeds were found, it was already considered to be the most successful season digging in the last 12 years since students began digging there each summer. Source: www.mitchellrepublic.com
