The Pit Daniel Ginnis

Having already noted the chalk for both figures are the same and 4 from West is the same as 6 from East, we also notice that 9 and 13 from East are the same silt as 7 and 9 from West. We can assume the same conclusion regarding the “pockets” being ditches that were filled in with silt by erosion. This can be further proven with the antler pick found in layer 13 East, as this tool was used to build the burial mound. On this side of the barrow, there was an excavation of the Priestess’s Barrow in 1744. Knowing that they found bits of bronze metal and a glass Chalice, we can conclude that layer 7 West is back fill from this excavation because I found bronze and glass dating from the first century in this layer. Layer 8 East matches the top layer of soil. This can be accounted for by erosion prior to the excavation in 1744. Along with the back fill from layer 7, layer 10 matches layer 7, so we can conclude that this is also back fill. Due to a penny, dated 1739, found in layer 2, we can conclude that this layer is also back fill from the excavation in 1744. We can assume the penny fell off of one’s

The last article talks about the 59th Unnamed Cave, in Florida. This cave is located in the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle. From the dates of the artifacts and the dates of the glyph, the site was occupied in the Late Woodland period. The cave was discover in 2007 when a group of cave explorer saw fine engravings on the wall. This site was the first cave art site that was found in Florida and it is the second rock art site that was found in the states. Rock art is very rare in Florida, but now with the site found there is a wider perspective on the importance of rock art. The site did not only include the petroglyph drawing of the past, but it included some artifacts that was use to help date the time that the cave was occupied.

In class and watching this movie we find out that Chauvet Cave was discovered in December of 1994 when Christian Hillaire, Eliette Brunel-Deschamps and Jean-Marie accidently found it, because they had felt a draft. In the introduction to the movie we find out that the cave sits next to this beautiful river named Pont d’Arc. We later find out that it might be this river that feeds into the cave that brings some bones into it, such as golden eagle bones. I also find out that the entrance that these hikers had found was actually not the true entrance. We find out that the actual entrance was covered when the cave had collapsed in earlier times. I was really surprised that they were able to find the actual entrance. I thought since the cave had collapsed that it would have damaged or destroyed the original entrance.

This article talks about the study of the Dunbar Cave in Montgomery County, Tennessee to learn more about the varied ways that the cave was used by people. Many of the artifacts that was in the cave linked its usage time to be from the Late Paleo-Indian to the Mississippian period. The article define dark-zone cave art as “the decorations in the areas of the caves that is beyond the reach of external lights”. Mug Glyph Cave art was found in the 12th Unnamed Cave in Tennessee and since then sixty-nine other caves that had dark-zone cave art were found. The artifacts and chronological data from these sites indicates that the tradition of cave art began 6000 years ago.

Philadelphia is notorious for being an extremely tough sports town. One day, the fan base can think you are the best player in your league, then the next they’re calling for your head and sending you on a bus right out of town. In order to succeed in Philly, you need to be a great athlete and you have to be consistent. Nobody succeeds in Philly by just being “average”. However, “No one in the history of Philadelphia sports has made a successful career off of being an average player better than…”. Who comes to mind? Jason Avant? Carlos Ruiz? Samuel Dalembert? Well the answer is no, no, and no. The answer is Keith “Jonesy” Jones.

Most people don’t know this history lesson of Seneca Rocks. “Climbers today have still come across rusting soft-iron pitons that were hammered into the Tuscarora quartzite. This isn’t surprising considering more than 75,000 pitons were reportedly installed on Seneca Rocks by the soldier climbers in 1943-1944. One area at Seneca Rocks has been dubbed the Face of Thousand Pitons.” (Bob Downing, Akron Beacon Journal (MCT)

The Folsom Bone Pit was used in the late 1400’s by the first Americans, however it was not discovered until the 1920’s. The bone pit is located in Folsom, Mexico and it contained the bones of bison, hence the name Folsom Bone Pit. The discovery of the bone pit advanced the knowledge of the first Americans in several ways. Scholars used the discovery to uncover things such as the information on the geological conditions, the origins of the first Americans, migration into America, and why the world became so diverse when Europeans began exploring.

The Cherokee Caverns is located in 8524 Oak Ridge Highway Knoxville TN 37931 US. The cavern hold up events like music festival, Christmas, and the not so scary Halloween. Inside this wonderful caverns are inhabited by the nocturnal animals the bats. The history within the cavern began to form about 300 million years ago. There are shells and skeletons of ancient marine life would mix with sand, clay, and other material to form a rock known as copper ridge dolomite. Cherokee Caverns was discovered in 1854 by a Robert Crugdington. The cave was open to the public in 1929 under the previous name Gentry’s Cave. There were Indian artifacts that is located in the cave revealing how another entrance to the cave exist in the past. Within the cavern,

9). Serpent Mound is well documented and has peaked archaeologist and other researchers interest for a long time, the first excavation dates back to Putnam in the 1890s (Herrmann and others 2014, p. 117). However, the age of construction for Serpent Mound has been a point of contestation for researchers. Researchers propose two time periods for construction, either Adena (~2,300 years ago) or Fort Ancient (~900 years ago) (Herrmann 2014, p. 119). Recently published work, as of 2017, done by Romain and others have provided strong evidence for Adena construction, radio carbon dates from GeoProbe core samples, LiDAR analyses, and electrical resistivity ground imaging surveys support their hypothesis (2017). Despite of initial construction of Serpent Mound, Hermann and Others do not deny that later Fort Ancient and other cultural groups occupied the site, making the site multi-occupational (2014,

In Naica, Mexico, a cave system is found to hold some secrets to the Earth. What is described to look like something out of fairy tales has NASA scientists excited.

The discovery of Oak Island’s Money Pit begins in the summer of 1795 when a teenager named Daniel McGinnis saw strange lights on an island offshore from his parent’s house. He noticed an odd circular depression roughly 13 ft. in diameter on the island’s forest floor (The Last Great N. page). He also saw that a good amount of oak trees around the recession had been cut down.

In 1985 a professional Scuba diver named Henri Cosquer discovered the cave. Cosquer Cave is located in Ardeche department, on the Mediterranean coast close to the Rhode river. The cave was discovered by accident when Henri was diving and found an opening.

Many of the other people are also bucking up and returning to the pit. Some of these people walk really close to the cylinder, waving a white flag to signal their peaceful intentions. There's a flash of light in the pit and some bright green smoke. As the people get closer to the pit, a dome-like object rises out of the pit.

When construction crews initially began clearing the site in 2009, they found “an unremarkable assortment of artifacts near the surface.” But when they dug deeper, they found “a foot-thick layer of peat” that proved to be over 10,000 years old after radiocarbon analysis. Scattered throughout the impressively old dirt were over 4,000 stone tools, including spear points, awls, scrapers, and flakes. Chemical analysis of the tools shows that their owners were likely using them to eat “bison, deer, bear, sheep, and salmon.”
