by the way, cuz someone is going to ask, the broken stoneware in the bowl I think was dug by me behind the mill. (Or it could be some other broken stuff they found, but I think that's where it's from - and haven't found any whole stuff out there yet.)

Very nice points Kate! Ive only found one. Our area was covered in miles of ice,so nothing up here older than 10,000 years from what Ive been told.That sounds old,but not in terms of points,spearheads and etc.

10,000 years BP would be considered very early for human artifacts in North America.

Especially as the glaciers receded from Illinois before they did in Maine.

Most artifacts are going to be newer than 10,000 Yrs BP no matter where you find them in North America.

Thats interesting, thier reference was written by Henry C Mercer. That guy really was prolific. Has anyone been to his amazing American history museum near Philly? (hint , dont go in the winter, it wasnt heated last time I was there).
He wrote a book on 18th century German decorated cast iron firebacks that I used to research one in my house.
