What I am getting at is Is it more likely that all the recognizable artifacts were made there and taken off site or are artifacts still there just not easily recognizable. I know my opinion and think I have enough evidence to prove it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279291686982118450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-45151063575565403022018-05-28T22:22:42.074-04:002018-05-28T22:22:42.074-04:00Greg, are you sure that the broken rock you are fi...Greg, are you sure that the broken rock you are finding is chipping debris made by a person? There are some natural processes that will break stone.<br /><br />I know of one rock pile site where stone tools were found in a rock shelter overlooking the piles. I'm not certain the piles were related to the occupation of the shelter. <br /><br />It is not unusual in archaeology for ceremonial Chris Pittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471037186411393740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-44557189718634329152018-05-26T20:36:53.991-04:002018-05-26T20:36:53.991-04:00So the reality is we're taking the word of Mav...So the reality is we're taking the word of Mavor and Dix who noticed the same problem and had to explain it off as best they could to fit accepted theories and timelines.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279291686982118450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-16337690182240138402018-05-26T05:20:06.325-04:002018-05-26T05:20:06.325-04:00At rock pile sites?

Trying to put in the hours but still to no avail.<br />Went for a drive up into Vermont and - I tell ya - there are a lot of rivers and creeks that look like the places midwestern arrowhead hunters explore.
