Dad had a dart point made out of a piece of quartzite. I believe it came out of a midden in Bell county. It was a rough point!
Nice garden. I had two or three manos laying around here. Dunno what happened to them. I always heard the old story that when a woman died they broke her mano. Dunno who came up with that one.
Oh! Archaeologist son was telling me about a find the other day. I think it was on a state project. Wasn't their firm. Archaic period find. Said they found a child's burial. Had a young bobcat ( little Bigger than a kitten) buried with it. Bobcat had a small stone amulet around its neck.
Pretty neat!
Sadly the really interesting discoveries that are well documented are lost to public view. Stories and artifacts like that ought to be shared.
