older stuff to help date the site i care for

[larson1951]

hello tnetter friends

my long time high school friend bought the site in 1986 and i have helped care for it with my equipment since then
i am a contractor and although i grew up on two farms in south dakota i am not a farmer and don't own the site
my long time great friends Twitko and russy help me and i could not do it without them
us three keep things clickin'
the owner (john) in turn lets us walk the surface and keep everything we find... and only asks that he gets to look at our finds and has never asked us for anything we find....not even once...not even the bone birds heads
here's to you john we appreciate this arrangement

here are some older styles we have found that go back to 4000-5000 BP
some are:
besant
pelican lake
oxbow
duncan
hanna
(or more so called duncan-hanna in this area)
as you can tell most are KRF

also i have in this frame the only hafted scraper we have ever found (all four of us)
so weird since the hand held thumb scrapers are so prolific along the mandan-arikara-hidatsa sites on the missouri river

I love how that Flint patinas white and eventually blue with age. Nice artifacts there. Are the 5,000 BP. Pieces considered middle archaic in your area?

Looks like you also have some really nice McKean points. They are not that common to find.

Well you sure can tell they are much older. I imagine if you ever have to run a deep water line right through the middle of that site you will find the beginning of time in your area. Probably always had some type of habitation. I know you guys take great care of that property and you are lucky to have a landowner who enjoys preserving the history as well. I am kidding about the water line you know. Maybe an irrigation line,
