Where I camped last night the ground had been turned up by gophers and noticed quite a few flakes and chips. Some obsidian, quartzite material, and a jasper looking material, a sampling pictured here. Found part of a scraper and what I first thought was a channel flute, but appears to be a pre-form discarded for some defect in the stone. My theory is this was a base camp used by hunters. It's up above the south end of a long meadow that stretches to the north and has a good southern exposure for warmth. (Once a good campsite, always a good campsite) South Park is known for paleo activity, but I can't say if this is paleo or historic. The next find is a piece of cloth about 12 inches long trimmed with lace and adorned with a delicate chain. I really didn't think about what it might be but it caught my eye and I brought it home. Boy howdy Maria knew exactly what it was. I do not suppose I will be attempting to return this to its rightful owner, either.
