Very interesting… answers questions and raises new ones! Such as- how to tell the difference between a blade and a flake and between a point and a knife …
Indeed...and I believe your great questions were discussed earlier (under peoples' comments, perhaps under a diff video topic). Let me know if you need help.
Fantastic discussion. I’m lucky I live 200 yards or so from a documented village site. I walk the fields, creek, and river. I find many anomalies that you just know were used as some sort of tool or temporary use pieces. Thanks again for a great video. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀
Fantastic! Best of all, collecting what you highly suspect is an artifact and yet, no clue what it is or what it was used for..... a true field-walker's sixth sense ! (well earned, well done). LOL
Great presentation, but I have a small complaint..the video is difficult ro hear! Maybe if you get a Bluetooth microphone to pin on your shirt? The video is great and I enjoy your presentation and insight, but as I said, I'm having a hard time hearing you speak, especially if the camera person is away from you a bit. I've noticed it in some other videos as well. I really want to hear what you have to say..lol. Thanks and take care, good luck 👍
@@fieldarchaeology101how if any way can I send you some pic I have of things I have found I'm in WV and hunt all year long. Your videos are fantastic content and your location and discussions are much needed to many fakers n artifact makers out here and also do you examine artifacts for c o a purposes,thank you again
@@cleoknight9204 Thank you for joining us... No, on the certificates. I am honored but have very little knowledge of W Va artifacts, very little. So sorry about dishonest "fakers". I do suggest you subscribe to the Central States Archaeological Journal (this is a quarterly magazine and it will be hugely helpful). It covers artifacts all around you...and you may find writers who send in articles from your area and contact them .Heres a couple names and phones to help...Don Reynolds (270-735-3923 ), Ky and Rodney Peck (704-933-8986) Va. Keep me posted on how this works out!
Great video, you do a great job explaining the details. As an avocational myself from north east kansas, this field of study really does interests me. I subscribed to your channel and hope to continue to learn about this exciting period of archaeology.
@@fieldarchaeology101 Central Idaho, Where I'am was once a river bed. I'am finding grinding stones, polishing stones, axe heads, multiple Ephigys, 2 Bear and 3 Buffalos. Pottery working pcs.
All roght that was fantastic, thank you so much for your input & experience i learned some things. The artifacts i find & rocks are charred black from the fire, but it appears only part or half the rock have been burned.
A place you hold it to spin the stone as you use it, to extend the life of tool if you strike and grind from same side of stone it will wear out faster. The ones I find have use on all sides an become very round.
@@michaelcarter3448 Ok...thank you. I understand this and agree. Also note that it was not uncommon to have multiple uses for their tools. Thank you very much. We find a lot of these in east central Ohio...the "pits" are spread out w/ multiple impacts ( one or both sides). NO evidence of them trying to create a better hold/ better sculpted pit....And then we find them with significant pits on one or both sides. Mysteries waiting to be solved. Once again, "context"... only finding these on significant camp or village sites.It is not uncommon to see evidence on them from being in or near fire pits. Stay w/ us, smiles!
Most interesting. The "prehistorics" had many diverse tools and MANY variations of those tools. There is always more to learn...connecting with like minded people at archaeological events and researching books dealing with your subject is a great start. Your artifact may well be that anvil you describe. Discover the excitement of those multiple opinions...ask them why they think so. BEST of results to you in your quest for answers.Trust me, all of us have found plenty of " what is it's" ! Thank you for following us.
@@fieldarchaeology101 can you name for me a few good trusted artifact verifiers? By that i mean people that can tell ancient stuff from stuff made last week by larry joe bob and his cousin bubba. thanks
@@cleoknight9204No...personall I feel they were simply stray pieces, randomly found on small prehistoric camp sites. I know a couple other guys who have the like and also found Slate "points"...me as well. The canal coal and petrified wood for all three of us were random field finds....zero indicators that they might be related to either of your possibilities. Good questions, thanks!
@@fieldarchaeology101 thank you for the the quick and informative answer and you said canal coal and that's exactly what I found and slate blunt points also.and the hard blue or green stones I have found celts made from..
