True, but I'd much rather be out digging instead of buried under all this snow.

Crusader, only if there are old lumber camps that I can hike miles to get to.

you could look for Iron Age lumber camps

Older does not necessarily constitute "better". There are many relevant factors, and while a greater separation of time lends a definite excitement, consider for the sake of discussion that an 1804 Lewis and Clark camp might be as interesting from an archaeological standpoint as would be another Roman pottery manufacturing facility?

Especially considering the dreaded socio/political/economic conditions contemporaneous with each respective manifestation, and the relative abundance of material for study.

Would you not agree?

P.S. the 1804 Lewis and Clark camp I would consider a site of national heritage, and consultant recommend that you leave it for the professionals at the Smithsonian!

I am suggesting that there are factors other than, and more important in some cases, than age in determining how interesting a site is.

Age alone is in my opinion an oversimplification of it.

It all depends in what contex we are talking about

Hey Lumbercamp!
Got some great camps up here in Northern Michigan. While everyone else is debating age vs national heritage etc. Blah blah blah.
I understand completely how cool it is to hike into an old lumbercamp and find what was left behind.

Ever come to Northern lower Michigan I can get you into some old camps that have hardly been touched.

Now, the rest of you may continue your debate.

Why jump on my tongue-in-cheeck comment. We have no lumber camps like the US & Canada, so I gave a witty comment. No need for some strange debate on it. Of course I agree age has not relevance when talking about importance or enjoyment. You pay attention to my posts so you should know I have said so myself on a number of occasion.

Anyway this is all of subject.

The poster was thanking us for the pictures & I was joining in with light hearted responses. I will continue to show pictures of my finds during the Winter months here in the UK & you can carry on your negitive vibes as per norm.

Sorry, your post was hijacked. I'm glad I don't get snowed in or I would go mental.
