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.
