[QUOTE="Dbllunger, post: 4947026, member: 2494"] When looking at new ground I always try to think as they may have. Water is essential. Find places near rivers or large creeks that generally have water year round. Would you camp on a sloped hillside? Probably not and think bigger. You want a large gentle sloping or flat area near water but above a flood zone. They traveled in groups. Sometimes large groups so they needed a larger area. You also have to remember that in some cases, just because there is water there now doesn't mean there was water there 1,000 years ago and vice versa. Looking at topo maps can sometimes help with this as you can see natural drainage areas and where water may have been in the past. Those are some nice finds by the way. Congrats. [/QUOTE]
