I found this site by accident back around 1984 and hunted it until 1997 when it became off limits. I was walking the river bank and started finding Triangles, Pottery, Mussel Shell, Bones, etc so I went up into the field above found a Village Site. I came to find out later it was called The Hardin Village Site and was excavated in the 30's by UK and had a book written on the excavation. This site was very late in the culture and was established in the early to mid 1500's and abandoned by 1625 according to excavation reports. Lots of info on Google.
Most of the Points found here are very small Triangles and they are literally everywhere. I have had a couple of hunts of over 100 Points and sveral with 50 to 75. Finding anything over 1 1/2 inches is rare. Beads were very abundant as well, as were Drilled Teeth and Cannel Coal Pendants. Several Pipes were also found here but I never had the fortune to find any. Not a lot of Bones Tools found here but there were quite a few Antler Arrow Points and Flakers found.
Okay, here are some pictures. Everything in the show case in the last picture is from this site. There are around 2000 Triangles in there and probably 500 or more Scrapers along with lots of other artifacts. I really need to get better pics of the items in there.
