"...but it's green!"

Today we continued excavating. H9 is starting to become exceptionally interesting. I am predominantly finding lithic artifacts made of a stone called Rhyolite (“archaeological kryptonite!” as Lindsay calls it). It is a volcanic stone of greenish coloring and it is really exciting to spot because it’s so different from the usual obsidian artifacts. I have found many flakes, a few blades, scrapers, etc. It is really interesting to find this material since there is no local source (that they know of). I am looking forward to continuing to excavate this unit as it keeps getting more interesting the deeper we dig.
