Early Archaic Site Sunday 5-3 Rain Rain

[Tnmountains]

Really wanted to try the in-situ photos again but we had tons of rain here in Tennessee today. I opted to keep the camera in the truck and I am glad I did. Rained hard every 30 minutes it seemed. This site is way back in the mtns and is early archaic. Its part of some land I lease. I was after the root beer flint but it did not give up any whole pieces but got enough flakes for a Jar. Got a decent Kirk bifurcated and what we call a stemmed square knife and some assorted little stemmed points. One looks like a lecroy but may be more of a fox valley variant. Fun day lots of mud. Everything on this site is early archaic and have never found anything that is not ,unless I misnamed something. I included the root beer flint. Have found some nice triangular points out of this material. Its not worth anything but sure is pretty. They traded that stuff out of this valley and I have found it 80 miles away.
Thanks for looking.

That's some nice points TnMountains. I love the mountains. All we have her is fire ant hills.

Haaa we are getting them to. I thought I left them in Texas. I saw an armadillo on the hwy as well ,and a landowner saw a bigggg wild hog.

We are starting to have a "wild hog" problem here in Oklahoma, too, TnMountains. They sure do tear up the land and multiply like rabbits . Good eatin, though !
Super nice finds--love the stemmed/hafted scraper! And the picture of that beautiful field is awesome!!
kind regards~~sandcreek

I know I have hunted along the rivers out your way in Watonga,Ok. We killed many large boars.
They are very distructive to the land. Oklahoma is beautiful as well. The wind never stops it seems. Wild country and I liked it.
