While building a
house, Dave Gillilan uncovered quite a large assemblage
of artifacts of various materials,
which he reported to the author after seeing similar
artifacts on this website. These were in a small
area about
1.5 m (5') down in apparently undisturbed rural terrain.
Among the artifacts was a cache of flint and quartz
points, blades, and scrapers professionally identi- fied
as likely of the Late Archaic to Early Woodland time
frame, or roughly 2000 years BP. Bird and bird-human
motifs like those at the Day's Knob site (as in the
photo above from Dave's finds) are very much in
evidence, as well as some quite remarkable indications
that glass making and metal smelting may have taken
place at the time the lithic artifacts were
manufactured. |
