It is a flake of chert that had been knocked from some sort of flint-tool impliment. The first inhabitants of the continent had a distinctive way of crafting stone tools. Just seeing this thing that some ice age hunter had touched made my hair stand on end. The actual impliment was likely used elsewhere and possibly resides now in the ribacage of some long-ago-eaten bear. As for protection of the site, it is well on its way to being designated as an "ANSI" by the government. I am not sure of the exact progress there.

Maybe with the finding of an arrow head the site may get some more emphasis on management and protection!! She found some really cool old shell buttons last time but an arrow head is definately much older. Wow!!
