No Rolls Royce logo infringement here...this is truely " Rollin on ( in ) the River
Took a while to clean out but this seemed a likely place to start
Sure enough, a worked piece.
I prefer to use Flintpig's ID. . . . . a very nicely made round ( square ) knife
When you find something this old, you know you have arrived ( at the magic level )
A small but very identifyable Martindale
Now my favorite time of the day..the flint washing 
Perfect test area for my latest invention...The " looky Sea" like a portable glass bottom boat for walking rivers & creeks for flint. It works well..
anybody can see RRoland on the bottom 
I brought plenty of fish food with me but one look at these winter white legs..they went for the other side of the river.
How bout this skyshot???..NO HANDS
Little closer of the days' finds.
There's a few more pics of this site but I need more time to work them into some related topics..by Monday
I'm kinda sorry to see that thats Marcs work being used as a training example for future generations of earth movers..
Later after the overall picture was taken , going into the wall, I deceided to go deeper than the last digger while I still had the chance.
The Martindale was right about a foot deeper! Look at the insitu pic of the Marty in relation to the roots in the starting pic
Future workers need to maintain that same lower level and quite possibly deeper when advancing forward.( til not one flake of flint is found )
After messing around with some other areas, I came back to this site late in the day. A medium sized
overhang had been created so I though, " at least some of that has got to go..." To my amazement, with
just a small amount of dirt removal..A PERD base appeared..positioned with the point straight up.
This is a very bad "insitu" composition..I now wish I did it differently .I laid on my back....The point is actually high in the overhang..NOT DOWN as a foot would suggest.
So in actual fact...Marc was standing on my early Archaic Martindale and banging his head on my Middle Archaic Perd.
"Why can't we all just get along?"
Folks, this is the exact same kind of BS that has divided whitetail hunters over the last decade and it has NOT been good for the sport. Thanks to the web and thanks to forums (no offense Michelle) like this, "people" have decided to be keyboard warriors and launch their attack from behind the anonymity of a PC/laptop or whatever the weapon of choice. Fact remains, we're all in this to have a good time and enjoy the great outdoors and the bountiful artifacts momma nature has preserved for us. PERIOD!
Thanks for letting me stand on the soap box for a moments! Please, carry on!
