Thank you sir, for always responding to my comments. I enjoy your videos and learn from them each time. Ive always had a interest in finding and learning about ancient tools and man. In the past 6 years or so i have concentrated on trying to find sites here locally in Central Maryland. A ancient quarry is located about 7 miles or so from my home. A butterscotch form of Calsedony was quarried by Paleo indians there. I found the information on a web site about Paleo finds in Maryland. I just need time to investigate my theories and gain permission to the areas ive think other sites may be. I do have permission on the areas in between the springs in my other comments. I just have to do it and find the time. Im building sifter now. Thank you so much.
C.M.R… congrats! I am very excited for you! Please keep me posted. Even after all these years I consider my field experience among the greatest of my adventurers.
Ashtabula, interesting finds and time period. Hydrate and thank ya kindly, good location for details hopefully. Has the area been metal detected? Good vid, Ty
Pretty cool, a lot of different types of artifacts, I've been siftting the loose gravel in the creek that I've most of the artifacts that I find and have found a few things, like a hammer stone some pottery, a camel tooth, flake knife, and pretty sure a atlatal super, mostly have to go down a good 12 inches or more, thanks for showing us!
Davelink…That is really exciting! Look for a bank upstream where this material may have washed into the water. I.E. possible little terrace at the edge of your waterway. Keep me posted. Thanks.
@@fieldarchaeology101 that was just the artifacts that I found sifting, I've found a lot of artifacts in this creek, I've walked it, and checked the banks as far as I can go, the rest of the creek goes through private property, I've found just about everything except a actual arrow head !
Thanks for taking along for another great day of finds. What is your opinion on whether this site has been continuously inhabited throughout multiple cultures or whether there was long periods (hundreds of years) of no habitation?
Davidn…actually both is a strong possibility, certainly multi-component across millennia. Natural calamities can be difficult to interpret. (The affects of flooding, forest fires, tornadoes, etc)
That is so neat, I would love to do what u are doing. I'm not afraid of the work and would love just the experience of doing archeology work. I have a place that was timbered out not that far from my garden in which 3 quartz bird points were found. The one I saw my dad pick up was nice and had some nice work done to it. Then finding what I think is a broke dovetail, then another what looks like a Dalton Style base but the point is broke in half, it is a Paleo type base. That are that was timbered, I found what seems to be a hand axes or a hammer stone Also all types of rock pieces that are not common to my area, quartz etc. The ruts from the bulldozers and skids exposed soil to erosion which brought up these rocks. I'm almost positive it's a site, located about a 1/4 mile from the river and in between 2 springs on higher ground above the flood plane. I've been there hundreds of times in my life but never realized how that is a perfect spot for a site. I found that hand axe or hammer stone then the whole picture kind of appeared. I had been looking for sites and areas around my house for 5 years. Just putting evidence together for a whole picture. I want to do some test holes and screens there. Hopefully we will find a site. Next to the spring, I found some quartz rocks that look polished, they are smooth. Found 3 of them. Have never scene any quartz like that around here, maybe in a river that would make them like that. I hope to find more evidence
C.M.R…wow! Congratulations! Your dream has come true. More than likely, your multi component site is between the two springs. Look around any groundhog holes or the bases of cut trees for artifacts. I suggest three test areas, each a nine foot square and a depth certainly below what would be considered the plow zone. Space out your test areas. Another possibility would be a trench thru the area, parallel to the two springs with a distance to be determined. Once again, congratulations and keep us posted! Question: is this site facing East?
@fieldarchaeology101 I had commented on one of your videos earlier in the year, explaining my father's finds in the 70's and 80's and my recent finds. I have also found aquatic shells and fossils next to a ground hog hole near the garden area when I was a young lad. I always wondered how at some point in time the water level was that high. The Bible tells of that time and the evidence is here for people to see. We just need to open our eyes in my opinion.

Enjoyed this big picture video! What a look into the lives of those who lived there so long ago. Thank you!
Cricket…you’re welcome. Almost like walking through a current landfill…what would we learn about ourselves?
Another excellent video, I can't wait for the next one!
Leeparker…well fasten your seat belt because there’s one just around the corner! Thanks for following 😊
Good stuff. That’s for taking us along.
In my option that largest hardstone piece may be a hatched head.
Robert Emerson…pole end of an ax? Good call. Diagnostic info leans that direction. Thanks for following us!

Thanks for the update. Always enjoy your videos!
KR Science…Thanks for watching! Hope you stay with us!
Wonderful explaining of the many, what would have been, pieces of their everyday remnants just under our feet. So exciting. Thank you.
Rehsmj …this reminds me of an expression from a past president…”Walk lightly but carry a big stick”, lots of laughs. It is a great experience!
Ashtabula, interesting finds and time period. Hydrate and thank ya kindly, good location for details hopefully. Has the area been metal detected? Good vid, Ty
Kickapoo…thanks Doc! Will do. Lots of laughs. And no to the metal detecting.
Great as usual! Wish you posted more. Thank for taking us along.
Vintage…thank you! More to come!
This is great information. Thanks for taking us along.
John Campbell…Our pleasure! Thank you very much. Stay with us!
I could watch this for an hour. Great job brother. Can’t wait for the next video👍🇺🇸
Smokeater…me too! Lots of laughs 😂 More is coming!

Atlatal spur !!!

I'm in the middle of lake county Ohio

I hope you get some rain so you can dig more before the snow flies!
Suzanne…Rain? What’s that? 😂
Go take the reward of a hard day's work...which is 'a good night's rest'!
Thomas…Indeed! Thanks for following!

@fieldarchaeology101 Yes Sir it faces the rising sun! 100%
