pinksoniaI found a point to day! It looked something like this white, with a serrated edge. I doubt it is the kind shown in the picture, as that one is from Kansas and I'm currently in Florida. Knapping technologies usually didn't spread that far; although, a few have so it's possible. It's times like this that I wished I cared a little more about pre-historics so I had an idea of the age or type of point, but unfortunately I don't. Maker's marks on the other hand: endlessly facinating.
There is a possibility that I am now on the clean up crew. I got sent to the Mississippi project when it was in shambles worked through to the end (atleast the end until injunction properties come up). Then monday I was sent with two other members of that crew to the Florida project. It also appears to be in shambles. There are 800 access roads to survey, roads which change on a daily basis. The crews already out here keep telling us not to kill ourselves and that work is not a contest. We've actually be working much slower than normal, so I don't know what they've all been up too.
Right now, it's kind of fun because we can hardly take a step without tripping over an artifact. Yesterday, on one access road we located eight possible sites. Eight! There was also a bow hunter who showed us picture of the bear who keeps knocking over his deer feeder -- the deer feeder that was located less than a quarter mile from where I was standing. I prefer not to think of that.
Hopefully, I will get to stay on this project until it moves further south so I can go visit my grandparents.
