Neither. Acumulation from 13000 years of ashes rocks poop etc. I think one of the main contributions to building the layers was sand carried from the creek and used to floor lodges. There was a large spring that had been dug out and a clay dam built around in paleo times. Made a very nice well and still held water.
Marshall, perd, cupp, darl stemmed, ensors, corner tang, wells, bulverde, angostura, andice, Martindale Marcos, darl blades. Covington blades, Gahagan blades, Pandora blades. Base tang blades.....shrimp gumbo , coconut shrimp, boiled shrimpI sure would like to see the archaic points your finding in your new site. curious to the distribution of point types that you found in east texas and how the types your finding may have overlapped as you move west. Castroville, marcos, maybe a Montell or two? Heck let's see'em all!

Wow what a complete whiny, hissy-fit, just gave my personal take on it and also as for it being mined, I very clearly THANKED him for saving these! " I appreciate that your are saving these from being lost." try reading AND comprehending before spouting your own ignorance.
So.... Do you think a fellow who spends a lifetime developing better methods of artifact recovery and spends many thousands of dollars procuring property has a lesser appreciation for the artifact than someone that walks a field once a month? I say its just the opposite. Its implied in at least 6 post from different members that I must not appreciate the artifacts as much as a guy who finds a couple a year. That's crazy. My appreciation of the history,culture, and skills Of the natives American is exactly what drives me. Every one of those is a personal attack. Some out of ignorance but most out of jealousy. I don't mind letting a little roll off but coming to a treasure hunting site and getting that garbage really chaps my hide. I respect everyone's opinion but most if that has nothing to do with the facts of what I do. Most are just idiotic presumption stated on here as known truth.Gar, everyone is entitled to their opinion. no need to be so sensitive and get your feelings hurt. We all know it is not the number of artifacts we find, but how we feel about and appreciate the one we do find.
That particular day I ran about 200yds of dirt. Averaging better than a point per yd. That's not the highest volume dirt and would never be worth shovel digging but the quality is good and worth while with the power screen. I low balled the number some.
We have dug 1000 points per day several times.
1000 points in a day!?! I almost don't believe it!
