Real arrowhead???

interesting, but I'll stick by my statement that artifacts you find will probably be later than 10,000Yrs BP.

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

Matt, I thought that you originally made a mistake when you wrote BP but when you used it again I wasn't sure. What does BP stand for - Before Pocahontas?

 

[GuntherHess]

before present.

Never saw that before. Makes more sense to do it that way rather than BC where you have to add 2000 years.

[sm=lol.gif] I like Before Pocahantas, better! Pretty much the same difference, ayway when you're talking 10,000 years.

Me too Kate, it has a certain je ne se qua. Here is what Wikipedia says about Pocahontas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas I didn't know that she only lived to be 22 or so.

BC is a non-scientific date reference.

Again, I'm not sure what BC means, possibly Before Cleopatra. Might not be scientific, but the archies seem to use it a lot, but then again I never did trust archies.
