Here's our security guard discussing the artifact with the digger. Pottery shards from the big mound near Jalalabad. Dave and I have been unable to get more information about it. It's clearly man-made. Look at it in the satellite imagery (link below). Seriously. There used to be a building on the top. You can tell it's man made by the way the rocks and dirt are piled. None of the locals I've interviewed have any idea who put it there. It's been there for as long as any of them have a verbal history. What we do know is there's lots of pottery shards... thousands of them. Last time we were here some of the locals told us after it rains kids search the mound and sometimes find old coins. Further questioning got nowhere. Dave and I like to hike here, it's got a great view of the valley. This time we found a guy at the top digging for artifacts, and he found one while we were there. It was a large clay bead with designs in it. He offered to sell it to us... and while I wanted to I didn't because we 1) don't want to reward that behavior and 2) it's bad form and if it isn't it should be illegal.
