Western Stemmed Tradition.That is what
Western Stemmed Tradition.
That is what the style of projectile point I found in this area of the Great Basin Desert is called.
The age of this style is old, real old. Overlapping Clovis, the Western Stemmed Tradition could range in age from 9 to 12,000 years old according to my research.
So I had to return to the area for another look to possibly come across more artifacts.
The elevation of this area is around 5500ft so the temps are still miserably hot in the summer but the mornings are quite nice so I had a good window to do some searching before temps got bad.
I ended up discovering lots of obsidian lithics, pretty much everywhere and did indeed come across more artifacts. Had a little drama with a Rattlesnake, nothing serious, encounters with snakes are guaranteed during warm/hot months. However, time ran out and it got hot so we had to head back once again before making it to an area with a spring. More to come in this area for sure!

Visitation to sites such as this should be done with the utmost respect. The artwork is not simply graffiti, it is a window into the past and it is culturally significant. Please take great care when visiting and observing these places.
