I don't see many Indian mounds in North Texas. How far North of the Hill country do you have to get before the Indian mounds start fizzling out? Thanks

Travis , above a line extending through northern Hill county and Brown county, they just become scattered camp, not classic burned rock middens.

Thanks Michael and thanks to Glen for the awesome link.

If you look throughout east Texas you will find more Caddo Indian mounds than you can count. Mounds of all sizes. Most of mounds are round in shape, but we have found some cigar box shaped mounds as well. There are burial mounds, campsites, cookmounds, etc. They are somewhat different than those in other parts of texas. They do have fire miden rocks in them but not to the extent of south and central Texas due to the fact this is not as rocky of country. Many of these mounds go unnoticed because of the vast amounts of vegetation and the plowing of fields over and over throughout the years. But follow any river or large creek and you are bound to find mounds maybe just a few or maybe hundreds.

You know there are Hal. Those in far West Texas, Hill Country,Brush Country, Pan Handle, etc. probably all had their area's. Didn't care to much for illegals trespassing through. Some point types seemed to be standard in all regions, others, like the Charcos, Hoxie, and Gary, all roughly same time span, each had a small geographical area. Dang those invisible lines.

Good question Hal. Being a North Texan I have noticed that hunting points up here is not as po****r as hunting points in the hill contry. I think the flint quality and and quantity is so good in the hill country that it makes hunting points more po****r than in areas where the flint is "normal". I have watched alot of youtube videos of points being found in the hillcountry and all of the resposes to the video from out of state folks usually are amazed at the amount of great points coming out of the ground. Plus, we can dig for them as opposed to just surface hunting. Other than that I don't know why flint shows are scarce in other places....?
