How to identify sites on the river

[Tnmountains]

Archeologist David Dean works above Knoxville ,TN. He is writing a book on the kirk clusters. But in this video of Chasing History he goes out and shows you how to identify a site and age it.
I thought it has some useful information especially finding the all to common fire cracked rocks from hearths and a fun watch for people who hunt waters edge.

Thanks Tnmountains, that's 30 minutes of work time I won't be getting back lol. This video is particular interesting to me because it's based in my neck of the woods. I used to cross Boone lake often when going to Johnson City. It's also useful since I've been trying to locate new sites here in Alabama to hunt.

I run down and hunt Alabama often. There are thousands of sites there. Rare to see an Archeologist work with a collector but they do. I fished Boone but never hunter it.
