What can you find in a cave under a giant Live Oak Tree? Stone age tools at a glance!

So you see the Clovis period axe head?

So I meditated under this tree that reaches 75’ into the sky. It has been here for a couple hundred years, but the layers beneath have been there for thousands of years. See the layers that show the deluvian floods?

Each hit was intentional, taking off layer after layer to flatten this tool to fit upon a stick and be tied as a kitchen tool, perhaps to hunt or bash reeds to make ropes and other things. A multipurpose tool from another age, created sustainably, without electricity or imports. Naturally, I like some new stuff better. You?

You can see the marks from each hit it took to cleave this flat side, the bottom to sin between the cut wood handle that would be tied with vines to create a hammer, a club, a tool for grub. The rock I picked up in my short visit to the cave turned out to be as I thought it might upon touching it: a tool from a millennium ago. What more lies below this tree?

So long ago, this paradise was home to other people, the true Rock & Roll world that was here long before the guitar. Imagine the stories that rocks could tell, the trees that have grown above the period of Clovis, or other woods people that once lived on this land.
