"Burying the trowel"

Here are some videos from the Friends of Pinehawk, in Acton. The first (at the moment) is the Zoom meeting with Kitty O'Riordan about changing views of the cultural landscape.

Good news - rain a comin

 

If you are gardening, or hunting for arrowheads in recently plowed dirt, the end of a drought is a good thing. This one has been pretty bad.

Update: Not enough rain fell. I took a long drive to examine dirt that was still opaque.

A late paleo arrowhead

I had a bit of luck yesterday. You might say a small bit of luck:

I think this is a transitional style like a "Dalton-Hardaway" but perhaps a little later.

Update: The fields are in awful shape. The tractors have beaten the surface and the corn stalks are lying, shredded, on the ground. Where they have re-conditioned the fields with harrowing, there has been no rain and all the surface is dusty, the same color as the dirt. I spent all day with my son, looking at the ground in MA and RI and we found almost nothing. So let's wait for a good rain before spending more time examining dust.
