Whole lotta moving around in the Americas before Columbus' arrival.
I have been all over the Bull Creek area and worked on my second archaeological project at Fort Gaines, GA, which is called “Chemochechobee”. The site, which is more than 50 miles South of the Bull Creek site, consists of a three mound site and huge village area on the Chattahooche River. Another dog effigy pot was excavated there by my colleague, friend, and mentor, Don Gordy. I have no professional comment to make on the pots, given my absence from Southeastern archaeology for 20 years, but I do possess a similar dog effigy, which was made at the Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico in the early 1900’s. It is very nicely made and beautifully decorated with black linear lines and red. On the back of the dog is a coin slot! This made was made for tourists, probably in the 1920’s.
