go together like peas ands carrots. every trip out to the school bus this week we look for a few minutes in the front field while waiting on the bus. so far 2 archaic bevels, 2 thumb scrapers, some broken blades, and misc stuff. nothing great or valuable but lots of fun. the archaic bevels date about 8,000 years ago. first humans to inhabit this area after the ice age ended. the ice was 1 mile thick right here for a thousand or more years before it receeded north. no idea what the land looked like then. at first no trees, just grass. the people who made these points, likely extinct and doubt any of their dna even survived to populations today. and the looies are worried we will wreck the earth. lol. I suppose the dinosaurs thought they owned the joint too. they were here for 300 million years or something like that , and humans in our modern form, what, 20,000 years at best? so far on just this farm we have found everything from clovis type 10-12,000 year old points to everythi8ng in between and all the way up to contact with the first white traders , finding clay trade pipes made by the french. pretty cool place we have here. just the next humans in a long line to live here. we buried kathys folks up in the north woods and made out own grave stone. maybe someone or some creature will find that stone some time in the future and wonder what does "carl and irene " mean? ? and why was a raccoon( our pet coon leroy) buried next to them?

you can bet those ancient native americans that made those archaic bevels were darn happy to see "global warming". they must have been burning too much fossil fuel to have caused it...uh huh. beings an ice age comes about every 10,000 years, drill baby drill!
