Weird times. When the world was normal we made a film. I’m a bigger Dick than you’ll remember from Wacky Races.

Hello All!
Here are the meanings of the symbols on the Four Seasons vessel that we showed earlier:

On the right is an Eternal Knot, representing the endlessness and connectedness of eternity. The knot is on the base, or underside, of the vessel - also a fairly usual placement.

We just recently recovered this beautiful incised Chinese porcelain bowl rim! This is the first sherd we have found with this gorgeous decorative technique!

This beautiful bowl with the Four Seasons Flowers design on it came out of the midden today!
Do any of you know what the symbol on the base and the symbol in the center of the interior are and what they mean?

[Arboretum Chinese Labor Quarters Project @ACLQProject]

Drop your answers in the comments section. We'll let you know tomorrow about the significance of the two designs!

Here's a beautiful Bamboo pattern rice bowl fragment from the northern end of the midden.

We love finding sherds that have both the howl's rim and base, because we can learn so much about the original vessel that way!
