We recently camped at a camp ground on the Hiwassee River in Polk County, Tennessee. It is the site of an ancient fishing weir (thought to go back before the Cherokee, but this may be disputed). Here is some more information about where we were: Fish weirs reveal ancient cultural landscape of Southeast Tennessee | Nooga.com
My children know how much I love rocks and since it was Mother's Day, they surprised me that morning with several they had gathered when swimming in the water (at the weir) the day before. One of them caught my eye. It fits into my hand perfectly, with my thumbs going into the indention. I wouldn't have thought much about it except that we recently went to a festival where a man had several Native American tools that were found in the same area and one of them was a flit knapping tool. He said he was about to throw it back in until his friend showed him what it was and how to hold it. It made me reinspect all of my own rocks found in the area!
Can anyone help me determine if I may have something here?
