Well, evidence of a
pre-historic American culture.
This is kind of silly, I guess, but I was working in my garden not too long ago clearing corn husks when I found a shiney rock in the soil. I thought it was strange, so I kept searching.
I found many more shiney pieces of flint and even a "point."
I had an expert on Native American artifacts determine I'd found a preform (a rough point that had yet to be formed into a sharp point), and something called a "table rock" -- which is just a term used to describe a particular type of small arrowhead, if I'm not mistaken. He roughly dated it to the late
Archaic Period.
Pics of what I found:
I have Native American ancestry (grandmother was full blood Cherokee indian) and this stuff fascinates the hell out of me for some reason. I try to imagine what it must have been like to live here thousands of years ago...
