OK that said who has disturbed the most burial grounds? Government in the form of state universities, Federal Utilities flooding massive acres of land where burial grounds are located? Or the typical just for the sake of hunting arrowheads etc. collector? The Federal Government damaged or flooded more burial grounds in three decades than even the most unethical collector doing a dig. The latest such flooding is called Tellico Lake.
The best points I have seen that people found {I do not collect} have been from private farms where the farmer plows up a river bottom or field along a stream. Again these are not burial grounds. These were camps.
I agree with not ever disturbing burial grounds if at all possible. That’s like grave robbery. But digging up ancient weaponry, etc is pretty cool. It’s not doing anyone any good in the ground. But oh no, these Native Americans want it all.
Yes. My family had a polished stone axe head that was found plowing up bottom land in Wisconsin. I often envisioned how difficult it would be to attempt to cut down a tree with that tool, and how many hundreds of hours it must have taken to shape it.
It was not chipped. It was ground and polished. One end had a little flat ground on it for pounding with. The other was “sharpened” if you can call it that, to and edge that would damage a tree when it was struck... There were indentations for lashings.
