and I’m guessing unless we find different it was dug with deer antlers. Impressive. 👍

The last antlers used in these projects, along with some of the broken bits, and found most of the time when anyone digs these old sites in chalk or other soft ground. Presumably the worn-out and broken ones go into the (outdoor) fire on a cold night.

Never thought of that. Hard life back then but they sure made the best of it creating amazing things. 👍

They didn’t have TV back then, or the internet. :^)
