[QUOTE="Woutinc, post: 6636179, member: 78422"]This doesn't say much. Here we find ancient stuff on spots of 10x10 meters (11x11yards) or double that. Or there must have been a community and your talking some acres at most. And beyond that it simply stops, nothing, empty. At most a highly rare wild find on it's own. Simply because those times people lived on that one spot loosing stuff, and beyond that there was nature where they were hardly active. If you travel through a big open space, how many square meters of it do you cover and how much do you loose? Or when you live sith a community on an acre for long? So 100 miles is that far that it is fully neglactable. 100 miles is almost half my country. Here in the South we find roman everywhere (still scarce, still only 1/100 chance?), and 100 miles further it's over. We didn't rule out anything yet. Me only pottery (from pots, from image). Still looking for the answer :D Stone indeed is also still a good option, and when signs for it it could even be used by men. Sometomes such stones have wear lines from say sharpening arrow heads, or grinding seeds. Yet, such stones can also be found natural in the wild. I've picked them up myself more then once to look if... So i'd say, look again, good, for signs of human usage. Details. I don't see those yet on the images now uploaded.[/QUOTE]
