Pretty cute photo of my new pup chasing a lizard on probably the heaviest grinding mortar I have. Decker pup? Do you ever find Manos with those grinding stones?

She's got big shoes to fill.. Annie was the best dog I ever had. The loyalty and closeness to me was incredible. She would never let me out of her sight. But this pup is going to be a good one. Manos?.. I have found a lot of pestals.

only thing recent was this piece of pottery found on my recent trip to AZ. SW of Sedona near sycamore pass. Have seen lots of different kinds over the years but never with this pattern AND light blue paint/glaze there was even a little color on the inside.. Was in a wash with some chert and small obsidian fragments that likely washed down from somewhere up in th cliffs there.

The French Broad River is very low due to extreme drought. There are nice 3-acre fields adjacent to the river, perfect place for the Cherokee to have a village, grow corn, spear big catfish and shoot deer which came down for a drink of water.
The Beagle and I spent an hour yesterday, inspecting the sand bars which extend from the bank to the middle of the river. I didn't see a single Indian artifact. Not one arrowhead, not a single piece of broken pottery. WTF?

Not one arrowhead, not a single piece of broken pottery. WTF? Too much transportation and deposition inside the river channel itself. Recheck after the next high rain return single event. Is there any bank areas that have collapsed due to rotational slide? Check those heaps of soil and any root balls of trees that have fallen i to the channel and may still attached to the bank. Check their roots and fingerlings and the socket from whence the shoreline birthed it.

Had to go fix hole in the fence across the creek in the cedar brake yesterday. Detoured back thru the one site here on the place and found this one just layin’ there on the ground. Quite possibly an Ensor point.

Bob, you must be purty darn happy workin' around that place. Livin’ the dream, Geno! Got another spot I can go look for rocks at other side of the hill on another creek (bigger one). Will get over there when I have some time.

I took my 4 year old grandson out to look for an arrow head this afternoon. Just had a hard rain and conditions were good for him to find his first one. This is what we walked up on...I've never seen one standing up like this! I made him wait until I got a picture. When he pulled the point out of the ground, this is what he got! He was super excited to just find a broken point.
