recent dig finds!

[Treefrog]

Well Ive had a few busy weekends digging now with some cooler weather and a whole lot less bugs!!
I also went through all my brokes from this site and put together a killer Gunterville point that I am posting a pic of too. it was found in 2 different digs cause it was in 2 different bags from this area. I have moved dirt in about a 75 sq ft areas so both pieces were in that area.
The nice Candy Creek with a flute and the Red Ochoa both came out about 6 inches below where the shed antler I dug up a few weeks ago was.
Ill post more as I get em.....

I am thinking it is a very worn and resharpened Guntersville. it is the one that is broken and I found both the tip and the base at 2 different times

Glad this weather has cooled down Tree. You have been busy and your dig is looking great. How many is that now? Always nice examples and material. This one spot has been a bonanza of knowledge. I appreciate you sharing when you have time. What is the oldest out of this site so far? Great job on finding that other half.

Cool Finds! That triangle point is a nice one.

Well I am thinking that the handfull of kirks is the oldest points so far. still got several feet to go down still and a long time to do it. hoping to get a 4wheel drive tractor down in there soon though.
thanks for the comments

Nice dig finds Tree. Are you going to use a back hoe tractor to dig away the bank in front of the rock shelter? Then dump it in a small trailer that has a metal mesh floor. And place the trailer over the area you have already dug. That would sure speed things up. And you have already dug enough to document the levels of occupation. Be careful digging close to trees that you don't fall them on you. I have a wooded area between my site and the land the archaeology society owns that I am going to dig this winter. Digging and cutting tree roots is a killer. Just the thought of it makes my wrist and elbow ache. Did you solve your your digging intruder problem? Thanks for sharing your dig finds. Keith.

I am built like a 4 wheel drive tractor with a shovel in my hand? Hey do you have any water above you?

Richard, there is a creek up above me about 140 ft but right now it is dry mostly till we get lots of rain. Keith, yes I have not seen any more signs of the intruder diggers ever since I took their sift.
also here is what I use for roots, they cut right through them easy as pie!
