I live in the Big Bend area of Texas. I have found many artifacts that l believe to be much older than what mainstream would suggest as the "first" inhabitants of this area. Many of them are of a uniface design, made of a volcanic non crystaline structure, razor sharp when broken and crudely made when compared to Clovis or other known cultures. Of course l have some later examples which are exquisitly made. It appears to me these uniface tools were made by a people who did not have the technology of biface or even the need for "superb" tools, just something to get the job done.

Hill country is getting turned into California, developers are getting rich and the water is drying up. I'm already looking to move to the Ozarks.

35:23 Isnt the Cuban anole invasive? They are all over Cypress, hard to find green anoles in the area now.

Banger after banger🔥

That Mockingbird in the background is cutting no slack 😂

Love this video. Brings back memories to ALL of us!

I don't know if you're aware of the pay-to-dig sites just east of Austin. They have destroyed untold numbers of sites, some very large, using bobcat loaders and large sifting machines. The flint points and tools are truly astonishing in shape and in number, unfortunately we will never know just how important these sites are. I truly wish there were laws in place to protect ancient sites on private land in Texas.

I am really enjoying this video on ancient Texas as I am a ninth generation Texan. Texas is a very beautiful land and has a bit of everything to enjoy. Just drive 500 miles this or that way. Thank you for a well done video. Complaments to the chef.

Really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting

Awesome!

This is sick! I love Texas ecologically! We need more real data of these species and their behavior!

Beekeeper here!!🐝🐝🫶🏻🫶🏻

I think what makes those St Mary's points so crazy is they must have been going for serrated edges without pressure flaking. I can't think of any other reason you would attempt to cross flake like that.

I have a place near the hill country in Medina county on the seco creek. I have found some amazing points many other artifacts. Awesome history! 💖

@joe rogan

great video enjoyed seeing the finds

*Promo sm* 😪

At 39:25, the styles dont look that much different. It could be a result of someone teaching another how to flake. Maybe a father teaching his son until he’s good enough to flake the other side of each one after he works it. An assembly line of sorts lol. I’m just sayin, they seem pretty similar to me. I’m not an archaeologist or anything.

Very interesting findings on those archeological digs. Thank you for posting.

Happy to find this group! 👍🏼

Extremely well presented! Thank you very much for sharing!

Hey, I'm wondering if the SMH 'aberrant' form, with the left to right flaking pattern, might have been produced by left-handers. Same goes for the examples which have L-R on one face, and R-L on the other. Could've been a cooperative activity, like the Thunderbird Site (in VA), where the Paleo. workshop resembled a factory production line.

Wonderful content ! Grew up in hill country and always interested in history here.

Gostei muito 👍

When I was 6 in early 90s, We had a family outing in Bastrop Texas on the Colorado River.. We accidentally stumbled across a Mastodon/ Mammoth skull!i It's now in the Bastrop museum find of a lifetime!i!

Very interesting. Who do you contact about a visit? Ive found several items on top of the ground.

Hola Bob Wishoff from Raul Quintanilla Monterrey NL, I hope you will organize friends to make a road trip to visit the guitarritas site and many more of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila Mexico

This has been an incredibly informative video. Then again, I am very much interested in all things ancient. I may be in the hills of West Virginia and have little here that pertains to Texas archeology. But, I have learned much from all the knowledge presented here. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.

Janis’ knowledge and expertise of the Bandera and surrounding area ecosystem is AMAZING!!!! She is also a great teacher!! Let’s go help her remove some ligustrum!!!!

Awesome job Janis! Great information. Very important work. Looks beautiful!

Katy I love your church garden! So impressive 🥰

I personally think if you are going to state what a hammer stone is usually made of, you need to get the facts first. At 18:30 + you state that hammer stones are usually made of chert. That is very wrong. Chert is brittle and usually breaks with a very sharp edge. Therefore, using a piece of Chert for a hammer stone would be harmful to the person using it if the Chert hammer stone would break. I am a flintknapper, and all hammer stones experienced knappers use are never made from any material that is almost as sharp as a surgeons scalpel. Stone that will not break with concoidial fractures are the stones of choice for hammer stones. ......... Jerry (in Tucson)

Amazing video! Thank y'all

Tentative plans from the Board are to begin a new Training Class in the Spring 2022. We hold one Training Class per year. Please refer to our website for updates to be posted about that on a regular basis. Thanks for your interest!

Congratulations to all. When will the next class begin? Will it be virtual?

What a fantastic video. I am pleased to see so many improvements and learn from volunteers like Larry Eskridge and others. We need green spaces for birds and insects - keeping such a large garden with so many different species of plants takes good organization and hard work! Thank you City of Kerrville and all the volunteers for continuing work and sharing this beautiful space!

Great video and very informative. I have seen the garden when it is in bloom. There are so many beautiful flowers and butterflies. I learned so much about plants and butterflies in just the few times that I went to help. Paula - I will go back and help, just can't promise when quite yet!

This is so interesting!
