middens and such
In Response To: Very interesting, mnh ()

Here's one reason why I don't shout out locations of artifacts. This was from a very nice midden on one of the popular out islands. Over the last 10 years, it's been picked apart pretty good, and as one can see, re-arranged. When, I find artifacts, I make sure are lone standing pieces before disturbing them. All of the ones I showed above were shoreline items.. I have a friend whose an archaeologist. He catalogues the piece, and we lend them out to local teachers who bring them in for show and tell for the kids. If you find a midden, please look at them in wonder , but leave them alone for the next guy...mnh
