I’m fascinated by the whole hobby/science of artifact hunting but I believe a lot, if not most of whats “known” is pure theory.



A lot of truth to that.

There are many variables.

Like you, I have found artifacts Paleo era to Post-archaic period, in one location. But the older were at the bottom and newer at the top, with no mixing in the layers.

Found an Early Triangular point made of jade. Figure that one out, being as it was found far south.

Early man traveled and traded materials and goods much more than most people think.

Found alabates artifacts hundreds of miles from any known source.

Lots of questions unanswered.
