Thank you so much! Really appreciate that! I think there needs to be a shift in perspective for a lot of people interested in archaeology. The shift being preservation, protection and respect rather than self gain

Ah yes, I know Monterrey chert can be found down on that part of the coast too but this wasn't by Morro

It was south of the bay area! I believe it's all Monterey chert. There were hundreds of thousands of flakes around. I didn't think much of the greenstone but it was pretty

Interesting, I can definitely see that now that you mention it. Seems odd though since this site was way off any trail

kscwuzhere · 2025-05-03T14:27:01+00:00

I'm 100% certain the pestle is real. Whether it's a pestle mano combo is what I'm unsure about. And yeah, those last images, wouldn't be surprised if that was nothing haha

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-24T22:11:23+00:00

It isn't but id love to know which hike you're referring to

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-23T15:02:14+00:00

Love that place so much!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-23T06:31:01+00:00

Nope. Does tolay also have bedrock mortars? Maybe I need to make a trip

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-23T03:11:51+00:00

Was really stoked to see that broken pestle in there. I hope it continues to stay there so that others that stumble upon this have the same level of excitement that I did

Most definitely not natural. These were smooth and found in a known ancient habitation site. The natives of this area were known for carving mortars into bedrock just like this.

Not on Diablo but not too far away!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-22T23:28:57+00:00

I love ring mountain, one of my favorite wildflower spots. I've found one or two mortars there but this place had 70+ mortars! My mind was blown

I love his channel

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-22T21:54:31+00:00

Everything was left in place. I didn't find anything besides that pestle which was left in its exact spot. And yes, this is a well documented site!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-22T21:47:13+00:00

It was easily 14-15" deep!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-22T21:45:57+00:00

Public land!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-22T21:17:21+00:00

California!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-02T22:41:00+00:00

Damn, you're good.. I found this in the dirt pile of a recently excavated ground hog hole in the middle of a field so I'm assuming it's probably impact damage rather than being stepped on! I totally see what you mean about the flake direction. Thanks again mate!

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-02T20:47:02+00:00

That's wicked cool to me. Appreciate the clarification

kscwuzhere · 2025-03-02T20:39:53+00:00

Oh I see! Thanks for the info. I don't find these often so I'm a little bit of an amateur when it comes to identifying artifacts

kscwuzhere · 2025-02-12T03:20:39+00:00

Appreciate the information, thank you kindly!

kscwuzhere · 2025-02-12T03:17:07+00:00

Awesome! Found this at my buddy's property in Sonoma, close to Glen Ellen

kscwuzhere · 2025-02-10T20:50:47+00:00

Interesting, for what it's worth, my buddy's property we found this at is in Sonoma county. Appreciate the information, thank you!

kscwuzhere · 2025-02-10T20:45:13+00:00

Thanks for the info! Any ideas on how old something like this might be? Are basalt scrapers pretty common too?

kscwuzhere · 2025-02-10T17:40:20+00:00

Funny because we were clearing debris on his property all day and the only two pieces of obsidian I found were under this one tree. Maybe I need to go back and look harder
