Recently relocated to southern New Mexico for work. My husband picked up this obsidian flake one day and told me it was an artifact. We've come to learn this mere flake is actually quite notable as the area it was found is hundreds of miles from the nearest natural obsidian deposits. I didn't quite understand then, and I still struggle to comprehend just how old some of these treasures are.
What began as a flake here and there has quickly turned into an abundance of interesting and exciting debitage as the miles and hours stack up. We have even found a handful of tools, scrapers, points - mostly broken, but tantalizing nonetheless. I look forward to sharing some of our best finds with you and the opportunity to discuss and learn more.
