A friend of mine has a lot of teepee rings on his private ground and is an avid artifact hunter, but says he has never been able to find anything around them. Any hints as to how to make these produce or any idea why he can't find any thing around them?

The many rings I have seen Have no artifacts. Which would indicate they are more ceremonial rings. IMO The fact they are round and have a smaller center ring in the center is not necessarily what would make it a teepee ring. The placing of them are not in an area conducive of a campsite. At least from what I have experienced.

The rings are not close to a creek. They are on top of a ridge and I have not been out to the site just yet. I hope to once the weather gets better.

Not sure why I keep thinking about this thread, But there are things about it that I think need to be explored. One is the amount of rings, if they were used for that purpose you would see them every where. Two the placement. from what I have seen they are not in places that is an ideal camp site. Yes I grew up with that was what they were called, but the more I think about it no they are not.

okay Man the more I think about it, and sites I have been privileged to see. and not seeing the rings. It makes it more unlikely. Just my observation. One thing I had a conversation with a friend that we had about migrations of people to move with the animals would be a circle to make sure the game was not be exploited to the point of extinction. but more a culling. I have done some research on campsites on the spacing. both pre-historic and historic there is a pattern. No I am just making assumptions just thoughts reasoning how humans move and what they would do to survive.

Chase once the weather gets better here in southeast Montana I will get out and get a better idea of the size and placement of the rings. I will need to drill my friends brain some more as he did mention that an archaeologist had seen them but then the subject went off on another topic.
