What is it Wednesday?

 

What are we Wednesday?

Today's, What is it Wednesday?, is a two-sherd (part) question. However, if you only identify one artifact correctly we'll still send you out a freebie! Which means if there's two artifacts to identify, then there's two winners or one winner and two prizes. Be nice though and spread the wealth!

 

 

Here's the first one:

Let me give you a hint. The burgundy color helps archaeologists date this sherd.

 

Here's the next sherd:

Yes, this one is also a sherd, but this pottery wasn't used for dinner dishes!

 

Both of these artifacts were excavated this week by the City of St. Augustine archaeologist Carl Halbirt. They were in the same stratum/soil layer.

 

Happy Hunting!
