morning walk

took my grand daughter out for the usual half hour, we picked a few scrapers, broke fishing sinker, pottery rim piece

and last a piece of cedar from a burned earth lodge

Nice artifacts Steve. That scraper is made out of some nice looking material. I always enjoy seeing the artifacts you find.

larson what is the pc of "wood" ?

 

[larson1951]

it is a piece of cedar from a burnt earth lodge
not western red cedar, it is called badlands cedar.....and a few other names....one of them is aromatic cedar
we have found several examples......flintdigger has a few...which i sent to him...here they are

Very interesting post Steve, I was wondering do you or anyone have any idea who burned the wood from the lodge's natives that came after the earlier generations or early pioneer farmers clearing the land ?
