[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 4947945, member: 12599"] The most heavily used areas by the NA’s seemed to be the second terrace back from a consistent water source like a river or big creek. These areas were less prone to heavy flooding, and thus safer to build dwellings on. Seasonal camps will be located near springs and sometimes right on creeks themselves, but remember they weren’t permanent. My guess is that your neighbor’s property is on that second terrace. But, that doesn’t mean that your property doesn’t hold artifacts. Finding them without having plowed and disked ground ( or at least cleared ) will be more difficult. Try looking in drainage ditches, cleared spots, and any place where soil is exposed. If you score, you can narrow your search even further from there. Keep an eye out for flint flakes or “debitage”.
