Re: NEW DIG SITE EVALUATED

Ginny
Thanks for the information. I am surprised it is not right next to a river, or it does not look like it is, at least not from what I could see on bing maps. I am guessing there was a lot more water around thousands of years ago.


G, As I remember the site explanations, the camp site selection was about as close to paradise as PRE Clovis and subsequent people could have found...

due to the boundary of the solid Georgetown Limestone to the Edwards limestone,,any rain water would not penetrate the GTwn and 'runoff' into the spongelike Edwards. The spring was year round with a moderatly stable flow rate ( as opposed to MASSIVE ' flash flood events ' in many other TX drainages. )

Lots of natural vegitation and fire wood available almost yr round. ( consider the growth around other springs in the dead of winter, the water is 60 to 70* )

Rather than ranging far and wide ' hunting '..game came right to their valley to drink and feed. ( witness that Mammoth butchering site they found right in the backyard of their camp area )

If you ( or anyone ) makes the tour...it's 2 1/2 hours of nonstop ancient civilisation info.
