I have merged Dave's thread with the earlier one.

That is a fabulous find, I read the article later.

I don't know if you saw the flint knife they found (with birch bark handle) earlier, truly beautiful. Some really exciting stuff coming up over there.

That is lovely, it just shows how skilled folks were then.

Great article, and nice flint knife GB. I look forward to seeing what else they unearth.
