A ceramic done by the Mississippians, a group which apparently inhabited part of the Mississippi River Valley about 600-1200 years ago, is up for auction It is an interesting piece because of the way it is shaped – in the form of an animal (dog) with a large tube coming out of its back.'Like gold': Dog-themed drinking vessel made by ancient Mississippians is up for auctionI also saw this interesting tidbit in the article:
Currently, the only collecting that is legal is on private property and must be limited to surface collecting. Even on private land, ancient burials must not be disturbed. Any artifacts on state or federal land cannot be collected. And, as boaters have learned, a person can be ticketed for picking up an arrowhead lying on the beach or along the shore of a state-owned lake.
Strict!
