I walked about 7 miles today. I feel that is a good effort, given the cold temperatures and the 40 mile an hour winds. Not much in terms of archaeology over most of it, but the final hours of the day were given to documenting a site. This finishes off the powerline right-of-way we started last week. We did find one late Paleoindian point, which may relate to a Meserve style.
The site was a lithic scatter of some note, given its size and content. The flaked stone material was almost solely comprised of a black basalt. Specific cobbles local to the ridge they were found one were broken down, and the useful parts hauled away. Tomorrow, we will take the gathered data and make a map with it.
