Five Angostura From The Same Camp, 7,500 years later

[Lone Star]

The Houston Archaeological Society's dig last week was on a site we've been at for over 4 years. We've moved around the property testing as we went, and we settled on this spot last year. The gopher mounds had a lot of flint in them, and the shovel tests showed promise, so we started some focused excavations. This spot didn't have much in the way of late prehistoric, we were in the Archaic Zones as soon as we cleared the grass roots.
Last year I reported we found a total of 3 Angostura points within a couple of feet of each other at the same depth. We started a couple of new (1X1) units that neighbored these existing units three weeks ago. This is where we started Saturday. As soon as we got down to the same depth, we found an Angostura in each of the new units. Talk about excitement !!
This Early Archaic site is only about 50 yards away from a Toyah Phase Bison Hunter Site. The only similarity is the tons of flint chips and debitage in both.
We're always looking for more people to help us dig. No experience necessary. Join for $35. a year and dig with us all year free. Bring the family. Facebook.com/houstonarchaeologicalsociety
