Beautiful hard stone Steve. I had to enlarge the one picture to see the multi shaft abrader/awl sharpener. He has found some very cool items. Did this site survive to the time when Lewis and Clark was in the area? I know that one of our villages here on Chickamauga creek was called "Little Owl Village" and her brother was named Chief Dragging Canoe.
Just wondering if any old records remain to what the village was called if it had not been abandoned.

yup the site was visited by Lewis and Clark........but the people that lived ther were gone because of the 'small pox' brought by the white man......

Those grooved axes, celts and hand mauls are truly fine pieces of workmanship. Dang I wish I could find just one.
