Went back to my friend Rob's farm for a weekend visit. We ended up spending the better part of Saturday digging in one of the many rocks shelters on the farm. He's been working on this one for quite a while and has is dug down Deep!!!
Here's Rob and Slim working away.
He has a large portion of the shelter dug down around four feet deep. Other areas are as far as eight feet deep!
He's using a backhoe to haul the sift dirt up and out of the shelter. Has a nice little road cut into it.
Wasn't long before we were finding em! Don't know if you can see it, but there's a point in this screen full of dirt!
Nice little Motley!
Sweet!
Benton.
Snapped base.
Sweet little Palmer!
Nice unifacial scraper.
Some stuff laid out on the screen.
Sweet little point!
A nice shot from inside the shelter. Rob is over six feet tall... he's around eight feet deep in this pic and not bottomed out yet! We're so anxious to see what all comes out of this site, but it will take years to complete this dig.
Hope you all enjoyed seeing some different kind of digging. It is hard work for little rewards, but our love of ancient artifacts keeps us going back for more.
Happy Hunting Diggers!!!
