Finally, A 8,000-11,000 Year Old Paleo Artifact from the River Site

[VOL1266-X]

Steve and I returned to the Native American village site from my previous post after we received 1.4+ inches of rain at the site. Our finds from the last 2 hunts are shown in the pics.
In the video, you will see a Dalton point that Steve found in 2015 on the adjoining farm. The Paleo period Dalton point he found nearby indicates that our site may be older than the Archaic period (2,000-7,000 B.C.). We verified this when Steve found the Beaver Lake point dating 8,000-11,250 years old. As you can see in the video at the end, the weeds are really growing there but the field will be worked again soon. Enjoy the video, thanks for looking, & HH, Q.

Thanks to everyone who looked & replied. Enjoy my latest article in Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine about the Trio history and finds entitled "Memories and Milestones' in their July issue. Hopefully, the next video will be CW related. HH, Q.

I find old Flint like that all the time. Too bad the natives never made them into anything LOL. Seriously that is so beautiful artifacts very fascinating to think about what might have been going on back then. I turned 46 this year and have still never found a point. It's not like I go searching specifically but I do keep my eyes open. I'm probably stepping on them and never knew it.

Love those old paleo artifacts. They're really nice. Congrats.

Thanks Dmam, Nana, Dawg, MSB, JB, Dave (Heavymetalnut), & rheddon.
Garrett424, I learn something on every trip from Steve. The fluted points can sell for thousands of dollars. Few sites yield Paleo artifacts. If you are seeing flint, you will find a point. Anything over 3 in. long is not consuidered an arrowhead but an Attal (throwing stick) point, spear point, etc. i try to remember that the people living in a camp like this were just trying to survive.

Definitely an interesting site that you have there. At first, I thought the black point was a stringtown. Is it heavily ground? I have some stuff to post yet from my recent trip... Great site, looking forward to future posts

Quindy and Steve, those points are simply breathtaking finds and ones you two should be quite proud of. Great article in W&E I got in the mail last week. Your finds never cease to amaze me,both metal and rock.

Steve recognized it as Paleo flaking before we picked it up. He has found them before. He thought it was too thin to flute. He has found several Cumberland points over the years. The serrations were flint knapped very close together. Excuse my ignorance of Indian artifacts. Thanks & HH, Q.
