We had heard some rumors about the recent winds uncovering some pottery nearby in Kashi Woods… So on a misty, foggy afternoon, the family trekked out in our backyard (adjacent to Roosevelt National Forest) to take a look.

Here’s Satori, armed with a basket to hold any artifacts set out on the hike.

Hmm… nothing yet…

Ooh, what was that?

Jackpot! We found lots of pottery pieces scattered about.

As the archaeologists got back to their lab, David and Satori attempted to glue the pieces back together.

Parents: To do this little project, I found a chipped bowl in the basement that we never used. Also another cheap bowl to add some variety. I gently broke the bowls, but the first one I wasn’t so gentle and it broke into  hundreds of pieces. Don’t slam a clay bowl on your concrete garage floor! ;) Oh well, archaeologists rarely find complete artifacts and fossils… Then I pre-placed them in the forest behind our house for our family to “discover”!
