The Site

This site is a village that was dated aprox. 600 to 3000 yrs. old it covers aprox. 1 square mile with this view at the north edge .There are scattered lodge sites like the one shown(aprox. 10 on this hill top)The village was the shape of a wagon wheel with the spokes being the paths to other villages so in time of warfare there was quick retreat to the main village in the center. This is where my story will be for now .Being severial yrs. of digging and surface hunting.There are also other locations i look which ill inform when there and pictures.Ill also load hundreds of artifacts found at this site and others .thats all for now .Keep the wind in your face and your powder dry.
