I’ve been back to the new site twice since I last posted.
I didn’t find any more painted stone tablets but I did find a bunch obsidian artifacts.
There is something a little unusual about this site.
The ratio of worked pieces to debitage is high.
The artifacts seem to be more coherent in terms of style, type and quality.
My first impression is of a village site rather than a workshop or seasonal camp.
The way the scatter is layed out, lack of debitage and the range of finds might support that idea…
A bunch of this stuff shows signs of grinding which is interesting.
There’s a lot to get through and it’s not all top shelf but I don’t discriminate and, if it’s more or less complete, I’ll post it.
In this case I’ve included a couple of brokes because they look interesting.
Close ups to follow...
