Recent Dig Finds

[sarahsue]

Went digging recently a couple of times, down at my farm, near the midden that I cleaned out over the past few years. Found a small fire pit, and lots of pottery, bone fragments, shell and flint in the dig area. Also found a few broken bases, tips, and other debitage. Ft. Ancient and Hopewell points, drill, pottery rim, and catfish spine bone awl in the photo.

Thanks Tom. The site is around 3 acres. Found this spot right in the wood line, about 50 yards from the main midden. Found a few archaic on the farm also. Maybe my shovel will yproduce a clovis one day......keep digging. i will post the rest of the artifacts on this post. I think you have seen my midden dig finds, on another artifact forum Tom Clark. Your knowledge of artifacts is greatly appreciated by everyone.....my friend.

Very nice

[sarahsue]

Thanks for all the replies. Here are the other artifacts that I dug up with the ones I posted. Lots of tips/bases, and some Ft. Ancient points with the tips broken off. Also a couple of whatever rocks that needed to be hauled back to the cabin for further consideration......

Killer stuff. Is that triangle rock made of limestone/limerock??

[sarahsue]

Yeah its made of limestone. Somebody said it looked like a pyramid boatstone, and gave me a link to a Cowan sale of one. But most people say its just a rock. Its has some polish on it for sure. I can't take very good pics right now as the sun rarely comes out, my laptop is on its last leg, and I am using my GFs tablet to take pics.
