Really enjoying your channel that I discovered recently. I grew up in northern Ohio for the most part. As a young boy when I discovered my first Native American artifact I was hooked. I enjoy being a field walker and have learned numerous things from watching your videos. Thank you very much! I wish you could see my small collection I’d love to know more about what I found.
Yes sir. I was able to dig a little area in a very occupied site and there were times when I could dig for a couple of hours and only find a few flakes. I do find quite a bit of small to medium pieces of sandstone throughout the area but not sure why. Doesn’t seem like the best type of rock for knives or points and for dang sure wouldn’t want to use it to grind up corn or whatever. No one wants sand in their food.👍🇺🇸
Interesting thought...that specific area is deeply embedded w/ briar and poison ivy...most all banks caved into very small waterway. Definitely a challenge. Sorry my Friend...I plan to continue to avoid this poison ivy " hot bed" ! Lol
Wow, didn't think on that one, very good knowledge to know. Down here in Texas. Might explain why springs were so valuable and why the natives used smaller side waterways. Thanks, that is a great nugget.
Lostpony…lots of laughs! Thank you. Even after all these years I am still surprised with what turns up in these ancient fire pits…oddly, no bottle caps 😂 Stay with us.
Clay soil is usually void of oxygen, which is one of the components of decomposition. So if you have a heavily based clay soil, the oxygen content is very very low. Sinkholes like those in Florida are really void of oxygen and they find antlers and bone 10,000 to 12,000 years old because they just can’t decompose as easily.
New sub here. I have been catching up on your videos. Very good content. Thank you. I have been collecting artifacts for many years. I have a few finds I would like to show you and get your opinion. Do you have email, website, or Facebook page?
Gosh! What a gift you have at sharing your knowledge.
Susanne, thank you. We work hard to bring the best we have.
Enjoy the videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of archaeology. Hope to cross paths with you sometime to talk a bit. I can be a little windy! LOL
Thanks! Looking forward to it! Stay with us. On September 5th I will be speaking to the Seven Rivers Chapter of the ASO in Columbus.

Spot on Brother!
Another great video! Thanks Professor
More than welcome! Stay with us.
Another great video! Always very educational. Can you show the clay pits on a future video? Thank you

@@fieldarchaeology101 Thank you for your response. Definitely avoid the poison ivy.
Never heard that the rivers were undrinkable before. Interesting food for thought now.
I agree. The professor from the OSU School of veterinary medicine/chair department of pathology is a serious field walker/collector.

Love love you videos. How do we contact you by email?
Turtleguy99@aol.com . Thanks for your interest.
Are pottery shards better preserved in clay soil or sandy soil? Thanks from IN!
