Hi Oxbow Archaeologists,

Marianne, Becky, Nik, Diane W., and I made it out to the Naugle site on Saturday and excavated six units. We worked on 13S-32E, 13S-33E, 14S-33E, 13S-34E, 14S-34E, 13S-35E, and 14S-35E. We are finding some flakes and fire cracked rock in low densities. We did not find any pottery this week. Diane found a hafted knife with alternate beveling on the blade (see Photo 1 and Photo 2). It came from unit 14S-34E, 26-32 cm (the first 5 cm below the plow zone).

Tomorrow (Wednesday), we will probably be washing 1/8” screen bags in the RB parking lot. We finished washing level bags last Wednesday. On Saturday, we will plan on excavating at the Naugle site.

Hope to see you at the site.

Scott
