Description: Miniature South West Paint Pot  - Hohokum - This is a very nice miniature that appears to be of "grit" or "limestone" temper.  It has been cracked and glued and has a small ding to the rim.  It has red pigment inside and out!  I bought this piece out of an Arkansas collection, but I have no exact provenance on it.  I have had Sam Johnson, Jeff Baker, AND Ken Partain look at it and the general consensus is that it is a Southwest Paint Pot..... most likely early Hohokum, which would place the period at around 1200 A.D.  A very NICE miniature and they are HARD to find!

Item: POT108  KY / TN Piece
Description: KY or Tennessee Water Bottle -  This water bottle is mostly tan in color with some gray to charcoal fire marks.  It is marked " Mound on Bank of Reelfoot Lake Tenn-Ky MP35".  To me this makes it a Tennessee Pot, but the far North bank of Reelfoot is only 3/8 ths of a mile from the Kentucky Line, so I am not sure.  This water bottle has about 3 larger pieces that were broke out on one side and have been glued back.  There is also one 1/4" probe hole from the inside out, on the side of the bottom that has been repaired.  There is some restoration to the neck, that appears to be mostly re-enforcement where it was pieced back together.  It is a very nice water bottle from either Tennessee or Kentucky dating back to the 1960's.  Pots from "either" of these are harder to get.
