Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I need to get this place in some kind of order before I end up on one of those Hoarder shows. It’s been 6 months since I did much of anything. Started small on my western wall alcove and un-cluttered it a bit. Plus I took the extension cords for the Christmas lights out of the front yard. I’ll eventually get the lights off the little pine tree….eventually. The den and spare bedroom are going to be a challenge. Then the outside needs paint and some minor landscaping. And I need a new porch. I think I will leave the small Christmas tree up in the living room though. It’s cheery and It really ties the room together.

Cypress Sun Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 It appears that we were both at the 2005 Florida State match, The Last Stand. The collection of, well, everything is very nice. You a keen eye for photography and staging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are, especially after a windstorm. That’s how I spotted the first one, top row 4th from the right. The black one next to it was lying on a big sandstone outcropping at the top of the ridge. Stood out like a sore thumb. After awhile I learned to spot them among other rock shards or just an edge sticking up a bit from the earth. There is very little local stone here suitable for lithics. They so they tend to have a color and texture different from the local stuff. Took me a long time to get good enough to pick them out. There are two spots, one on each side of the canyon where they made points and tools. There are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of chips and flakes from many years of chipping away. Sometimes I just sit in those spots and let my imagination go. They tell me most of the tribes here left around 900 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 There is another area about 20x50 yards that contains a lot of pottery shards. I assume they tossed their broken pots there. The fella that used to live about 1/4 mile down the road said his sister found an intact pot with a rawhide cover filled with corn down in the canyon back under a rock outcrop.
