Cool stuff, Paul. I've found some pottery pieces, but never anything that complete. There have been some amazing effigy pots excavated from some of the Mississippian mounds around here. I love hunting artifacts, but I tend to think they should have just left the mounds alone.

Oh come on Steve, its not like they are digging up someones grandma to get her jewelry and other prized possessions. OH WAIT, that is exactly what they are doing.  I like to pick up the pieces I find laying on the ground around here, but I'm not going to dig any up.  I know where there are a few grave sites, but I'm sure not telling the BLM or they will go dig them up.

i'm with the other guys on leaving burial mounds alone. cool find on the pottery. the mescaleros have a res near Rui d oso in south central new mexico nowadays. they are pretty accomodating people if you wanna learn more about them. they are a lil touristy with the giant casino there though. the res is about an hour northwest of roswell in the mountains. i spoke with one of their bowyers at a festival there. he had some nice short horseback self bows. they were made with various woods from birch to juniper. most about 40-45 lb at 24-26 in. he wanted a pretty penny for them.
