My New Site.

I thought some of you would like to see this photo of a prehistoric horse jaw bone and a worked stone piece in the same layer of matrix. I am doing this in a controlled dig the best I can, but as one member mentioned I need to add a scale to my dig photo. I am going to let the state guys come down and take a look at the site, so has to have things verified , but I hope I'm on to a nice important find. Who knows if it's important or not it is important to me. This is the NA artifacts I found so far in the same context as the prehistoric fossils. The worked piece at the top of the group is what was in the photo of the jaw bone.

Cool! The one in the bottom photo, in the center looks like a pretty nice knife.

It's not a creek, it's just a very small deep drain about 1ft across and water is in it now do to all the rain we have had. Our top soil is a loess soil that is loose and very fine and can be up to 100ft deep, it was blown in to this area after the last Ice age. Under that you find a layer of a strange gravel that reminds me of crushed cement mixed with a grey clay from 3in to 2ft thick, that you find Ice age mammals in. I am digging into the bank area after removing the over burden soil, which in this drain goes from about 10in to 3ft to 15ft in about a 3ft distance inward toward the bank.

All I can say is WOW! That is really cool! Something like that makes me want to find out the story.

You have the common sense to tell whether the site is worthwhile or not, so why invite the state? You might just lose access to your new site before you even get started.

Great site...When mother nature offers an opportunity like this you have to feel that it was just meant to be....as far as you notifying the state.This has benefits for all parties involved.You get the expertise,they get site verification.Then the whole experience was a positive for the professional-amateur relationship....win-win-win....mjm
