This is a MULTI-COMPONENT site. We have everything from 800 yrs old to 6000 yrs old.
I think the projectile point on the top of the feature was a MADISON... about 1,200 yrs old.
But I'll have to look at it in the lab for confirmation.

We believe the Hearth has been used multiple times... As in seasonal, etc
We take charcoal samples out of every ten centimeter level for radio carbon dating so we can get more precise dates....

I'll keep you informed.... :wink:

I was hoping to show off my new roof rack and sliders Saturday but I don't have them yet

I asked if he could come up with some brackets to mount a shovel, axe and hi lift. The last I heard from him he said he did it but he hasen't answered my emails since. I'm trying not to bother him and just let him do his thing but man,...
I'm not sure but I think he said he's expanding his shop which would explain it.

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 10:53 pm

Yes he moved from Colorado to Missouri and opened one place, went back out to get more of his equipment etc, then found a bigger shop so was moving there, training new employees etc and setting up vendors to get steel and have it cut so all taking time

I didn't know you were getting some things from him, I'll have to jump him about them :ROTFL:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 11:13 pm

I'm really looking forward to the new gear, he does pretty good work and I like his sliders.

Wheres The Pics of todays find???
Come on already!!!

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:01 pm

Found the usual today. Pottery. Etc etc

We finished excavating the first half of the hearth and at the bottom we found a nutting stone used to crack open nuts. There are three divots in the stone caused by repeatly cracking nuts. Oh and we recovered charred nuts right on top of the stone!

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:02 pm

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:07 pm

Thank you kind sir!!

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:09 pm

That's awesome. Will they still be able to develop that area or will it turn into something else?

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:29 pm

Yes they will be able to develop on the land. But not until our report gets turned into the state historical preservation officer. The she will decide whether or not more work is to be done. If no more archaeology is required they can develop. If more archaeology is required we go to phase 3 and do more digging... And they wait til we are finished

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:47 pm

Are all of the artifacts going to be preserved?
