When we established Premier Relics as one of the growing leading artifact dealers in the United States we wanted to bring authentic, researched, and museum grade artifacts to the general public. This ‘LOT COLLECTION’ was created on the basis of providing real and authentic relics from the past at EXTREMELY affordable prices.

When purchasing an artifact from our ‘Lot Collection’ you will receive one randomly selected artifact from the lot (group) of relics you see in the photo. The photo represents the exact quantity that is originally available as well as one of the randomly selected relics that you will receive. Meaning that one of the artifacts you purchased and receive is pictured in this exact photo.

These Arizona Anasazi pottery shards were excavated from the White Mountains of Arizona and are estimated to be around 600 to 1,000 years old.

History:

The Anasazi (or ‘ancient outsiders’) where an ancient Native American tribe of Ancestral Puebloans whose roots spanned the four corners region of present-day Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Dating back as early as 1500 B.C., the Anasazi are most notably known for their immaculate and intricate cities built into the sides of cliffs of the Southwest. These magnificent villages were so complex in structure that some of the cliffside cities were five stories tall and contained nearly 800 individual rooms. The overhang from the carved rock formations protected them from sandstorms and heavy rains. Many of their ancient Anasazi city structures still stand today, as they are some of the world's longest-standing structures. The Anasazi are most notably known for their pottery and basketry. The pottery and basket weaving was traditionally passed down from generation to generation and done by the women of the tribe. These hand woven vegetation baskets and hand-coiled pottery are some of the most admired pieces of ancient Native American artifacts today.
