Paleo Site Artifacts
Isn’t this a rare beauty even though it has sustained some damage.  I almost didn’t walk down the side of the hill of the “Paleo Site” to get this one as it just looked like a pointed rock sticking out of the dirt.......no big deal.  Well, after glancing at this “rock” numerous times, with my nearsightedness, I decided to investigate further.  Let me tell you, the closer I got, the more it didn’t look like just any old “rock”,  and once I had it in hand I knew it bore the work of some ancient human upon that hill.  Holding this artifact in my hand was like reaching through thousands of years and somehow touching the maker, if only in my mind.

This artifact has already been registered with ITARP in hopes that it will be of help in learning this area’s past, long, long before settlers arrived.
