The New Dig site (Day 2)

[1320]

My brother and I got back for a few hours Saturday. I've ruptured my Latissimus Dorsi so I was only able to observe and photograph. Really sucks not being able to help out, it's hard work.

You & your brother are gonna have so much fun there, 1320! That looks like a great shelter.
I've got a question for you: Do you ever look for artifacts up on top of the bluffs---above the shelters? I've found lots of flint on the ground above many of the rock shelters around here----I think the knappers sat above the shelters/bluffs and made their tools & points.

You bring up a nice point, there is no doubt that knapping was conducted up top. We have seen such evidence where ATV's have disturbed the dirt on the ridge tops. We don't dig for them there though, too many roots! I stumbled across some Clovis references a while back that claims most of the non-kill sites are located in such places...perhaps a good way to spot game from a distance?

Not yet, we've spent less than 5 hours at this site and we don't clean them up real well, we prefer the "natural" look I will post a frame of the haul in a month or so. We have found quite a few in such a small area, should be a nice frame.

The base and notches of the dark grey Pine Tree are smooth as silk!

Love that dark grey Pine Tree.

No shelters here, and you can't dig / screen - not even with stick...

Post some more photo's !

1320!! also would be a good place to watch for other tribes trying to creep up on the shalter. love your photos of dig site. your photos of the points are very good at showing off really nice artifacts. having trouble getting people to let you dig rock shelters or even walk the fields around here. keep on keeping on.

Thank you Terry, it's awesome to receive your positive and supportive comments. If you ever want a shelter to dig, I have one with your name written all over!

We'll save part of it for you T! I'm still on the sidelines (injured) and little brother won't dig there without me even though I beg him to do so. Come on down, Bob needs some help.
