Pendant made from Anasazi pottery shard |
If you ever break a piece of pottery, think twice before throwing it away. Among the numerous artifacts found in North America, pottery shards have revealed a tremendous amount of clues regarding the people and cultures that created them. One particular group known as the Anasazi – translated as the “ancient ones” – were accomplished potters. Today, even the remnants of their pots have become valuable collectibles.
