One question to the list...back in high school my woodshop teacher told
me a story of a lumber mill stopping production one day due to the saw
binding on something embedded in the tree...the story as it was told
that the object turned out to be lithic arrowhead...has anybody ever
heard of this happening?..or did I get sucked up into a big yarn?

"OK, it seems we have strayed out of the realm of soil in this lumber
thread, although it has been very interesting and does have considerable
interest to those of us that do historic building surveys, but it has
been a long time since I actually excavated a 2x4."

For those of us who work "in the woods", lumber and logging technology,
and everything asociated with getting the trees from the forest to the
lumber yards, IS as much archaeology as all the artifacts in a domestic
or any other site type.

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
