Quick Hunt At Tilly(39)s Hill Site

[south fork]

I had business in town so afterward I took the long way home and stopped by Tilly's Hill site . It needs rain the weeds are all dead and there's plenty of gopher mounds . But the soil is powder and everything is covered in fine dust . I found two broken Gunther Barbed Points late prehistoric and historic periods A.D. 800 up until the Gold Rush and perhaps to the turn of the century . And a worked down to the nub Martis Corner Notched Late Archaic 1000 B.C. to CA . A. D. 650 made of rhyolite . Information From Noel D Justice . The translucent point is made on a flake to bad the tips broken . And a photo of my finds over the last couple of months from the site on top of desk . And a site case mostly surface finds from the site over the last couple of years .

Thanks Dennis, Very nice site collection.
I really like the picture of the site too.
Is that a stream just beyond the tree line?

35 years! Amazing how much "junk" gets left behind from a few hundred to a few thousands years!
Guessing it's one of your favorite sites, thanks Dennis.

This was a large camp its all cut up into small home sites now . There's only about five acres left to hunt but rich in artifacts . I'm afraid its all coming to an end with development .
