Fort Ancient????

[bravowhiskey]

WT heck is a Fort Ancient site? Is it merely an old Amerind/military installation?
I don't get it. At least I kept my mouth shut until I gleaned the truth about in-situ pics.

Thanks,
BW

Im not clear on that either, but modern man did give all these relics "their own" name, type, ect, usually by the town closest to the site where found. and by what they thought it resembled,(dovetail) if you think bout it real hard, it really dont make much sense to just give it whatever name comes to mind..I wonder if early man had a name/type to his objects?

Here you go bravo. This should help you understand the culture better. The Ft Ancient is the most recent culture, existing from around 950 to 1650 AD.

Thank you, Sir. I did not realize it was a culture. That sure explains much to this old plow boy.

May the Gods be with you.
