And the kicker is that they voted in the last election there.

This is just a few miles from where I live. We, my son and I, find all sorts of flint artifacts on our land just about every time we bother to look. I have a copy of diary written in the early 1700’s by a roaming preacher who mentions the great Scioto tribe and their thriving iron works in what is now downtown Columbus.

Woody was from Newcomerstown, Ohio. Its name comes from the lady who lead the indian settlement, a indian sqaw called “Mrs. Newcomer.” An account of her is also in the diary I mention above. Newcomerstown then (early 1700’s)had wooden houses and streets and was well-organized and prosperous. It’s about 15 miles north of me. Now it has wooden houses, asphalt streets and, by today’s standards, not so prosperous.

"This may be something that predated the Mound Builders,"

Very interesting.

“and clues in the soil suggest that other people might have been buried nearby.”

Like what? Obits?

I predict that some nutbar aboriginal American group will seize this opportunity to protest and
1) Exclaim their indignation to the descecration of the burial site.
2) Demand all activity at the site to cease.
3) Demand the return of the bones.
4) Engage a legal team.
5) Sue someone.
And all of this will happen within the next week.

Same here in SE Tennessee. Farmers have been picking up spear points and arrow heads by the bucketfuls in this area for two centuries. I have one spear point I found in a plowed field about 7 years ago I had dated to 11,500 years BP. I'm always finding pottery shards, flint and the occasional remnants of grinding stones in my garden spot. I even found a tomahawk head in the river that borders my property. There are dozens of mounds all up and down this valley, although some have been leveled by farmers over the years. There was supposed to have been a mound on my property, near where my runway is now, but it was long ago leveled by a previous owner. Strangely, the grass still shows a circle where the mound was supposed to be located.....
