Paleo Day Today CACHE

[Garscale]

Gosh what a day. I dug the trinity camp again today. Just before I quit Tuesday I dug a 5 piece cache of 4 performs and a really nice oval based blade. I was thinking about them when I started today and I knew exactly where try came out of my trench so I started in the wall right there. First bucked right off the clay had a big point sticking up. I never put it on the screen just motioned for my nephew to come over. I pointed at it and he pulled it out... KILLER Angostura!

I knew I had found more of the cache. I quickly screened the over burden and started cleaning the sticky clay. Ango after Ango rolling out. First stage perfection.

I ended up with 19 total angos with 6 being first stage!!!. The rest of Tuesday was amazing as well. San Patrice, Scott's bluff, wells, Early Triange, etc. I even found a bone handle that was split and clearly had a blade hafted in it.

It was an epic day shared with a great friend Southern Camo , my nephew, and my Father. I'm blessed.

Gary is a common and mostly uninteresting late archaic to woodland type. Most are poorly made and poor material although there are occasionally nice.

In this case the cache was large knife form Gary's. Not amazingly made but good enough! Ill post pics later. There was also two full groove hematite axes in the immediate vicinity but its uclear if they were with the Gary stash or a separate deal .

The cache I found is very similar to the cache pictured from Oklahoma. Just more if them.

No.... Not a grave. Digging a lodge site. No logic behind putting performs in a grave. Just a long lost buried treasure.

 

[Garscale]

leave some for the rest of us!

Ok. I Origionally planned to dig all of them but then after much concern for fellow tneters... I decided to dig all my life but leave 1,693,999,001 out there in hopes y'all might find them. You better hurry though because while I was typing 13, 300 of them were covered in concrete.

Not a problem. What state you wanna find them in?

 

[unclemac]

Some place without all those dang trees and brush to clear.

[DaveSmith]

I went back Saturday and dug about a 30ft circle around the cache. That sounds easy but understand that the cache was right In the top of the hard pan so all the over burden had to be screened to get there. That was good because I found a bunch of miid archaic and woodland in it.

Any way I was able to recover 3 more pieces of the angostura cache. Ill take a pic of the frame when I get time. I'm putting all of it together including the blanks. I think there is a total of 24 pieces.

What a Fantastic weekend of digging artifacts Steve. I'm always amazed at the sheer volume of artifacts along those rivers down there. Congrats on that great Angostura Cache!!

Yeah. Dug short days both days. Had maybe 600 Friday. Probably 800 Saturday including brokes. Then there are axes, metates, hammerstones, nutting stones, pottery etc

 

[unclemac]

is any of your pottery intact?

 

[Garscale]

is any of your pottery intact?

No. Heavily forested areas rarely produce intact pots. Tree roots destroy most of them. We did dig about 100 pieces of one huge and highly decorated pot Saturday. Without a doubt we will dig more of it next time. We kept it separated.

Ain't that the sad truth.... Any more pictures?! That is honestly one of the most amazing finds I've ever seen.
