The Topper site is one a hill above the Savannah River, which sweeps past a hilltop containing a large, exposed chert outcrop. Chert is a sedimentary rock that flakes easily and can be worked to produce tools such as knives, arrows, axes and blades.

Topper is only about 3 hours from me.
I don't think I can let this opportunity go by.
I've been surface-hunting all my life, but I've always wanted to dig.

The U of Texas had a long ongoing dig in Central America on Mayan sites, back when the archeology department was among the leaders in deciphering Mayan glyphs.
They took volunteers who could devote a summer for the dig. I always wanted to go but somehow never could find the time.
Or maybe I was afraid of snakes.

A family member did that program, he had a blast, he also had absolutely no archaeological training. He ended up drinking and smoking with the nearby Mennonite teens every night and was the guy who clear cut new excavation areas for his small team.
They found an amazing 4 foot tall , 2 foot wide stella...
and more feral lances than you could imagine.

I think you meant fer-de-lances, a very deadly viper.
Speaking of finding a stela, I was down in Cozumel many years ago and we had rented some motorscooters. Went into the jungle alongside the road to answer a call of nature and stumbled over a small stela covered with vines that looked as though it hadn’t been seen since before the Spanish conquest.
There are so many undisturbed Maya ruins in Southern Mexico and Central America that universities and governments can’t even begin to find enough money and archeologists to discover and protect them.
