Me and the boy went out to the ranch and shot some steel for an hour or two this afternoon. Crossing an old cow path while hiking up to trim some trees around the gongs I looked down and found a worked piece of obsidian. Never found any chips at all out there and the nearest obsidian source is a long hike from here.
How long of a hike? Throw me out of a guess. I love the idea of their trade routes and their material acquisition
Google maps says roughly 400mi to the nearest source I’m familiar with. Of course it’s probably over 200 to the Alibates flint quarries and we find that stuff all the time. They were some hiking dudes back then.
