I was moving my screen off a property today and dressing out the dig site. What the heck, why not run a little dirt? Lots of rough pet wood but great colors.

I made a little deep cut looking for paleo but not much t there. I did find the uniface and what may be a little worn out Scotty.

Edit.... stand by for pics.

Nice! The knife looks paleo to me, same for the Scotty call.
 

Nice haul, congrats!

Could be a worn the heck out scotty. Flaking is right on the base. It and the paleo uniface were the only things i got deep.
 

That’s awesome! How long did you run and how deep did you find?

About 3 hours. Weak paleo later about 9ft. That wasnt all the way to clay though. Too labor intensive for a short dig.
 

Great day some colorful finds . A question why are you moving the screen ?

Too far from home to be on a low volume, poor material site. It's a 150 pt per day site at best and most of the material will be hard to flake pet wood. Great color but mostly pooters.

I love a good agatized wood!
 

I?d just like to learn how you guys identify certain sites such as this. Looks like you?re out killing it Steve. Congrats man
 

Certainly worth all the effort!

It's not hard to identify sites. Find a waterway. Find fairly level ground above flood plane but closest to water. Boom, you found a site. Now was it used for thousands of years by 20 different cultures? Only digging and screening can answer that. The site in this ,case pretty poor.

What would anyone do with a 150 of those a day ? lol could only wish

That one is pretty well made. Most of them are not. Points like those are super common.
