Ancient Civilizations Of North Carolina: A Journey Through Time

Years ago Roanoke Rapids lake ,lake Gaston and kerr lake was lowered to kill a weed that was taking over ,my dad and I took a canoe and paddled to an island and found pottery and bits and pieces of bowls ,made of clay ,and some broken plates from the colonial times Halifax County NC

What a wonderful video! Thank you! Half a century (more or less) ago I was a kid in western NC. Like all kids I suppose, we always looked for and collected arrowheads, our word for any stone tools we found. Plowed fields, and overturned tree root balls were especially good places to find them. Find them we did and traded them back and forth like baseball cards. Years later I learned that almost all the ones we found were of Paleo origin, not the more modern Native American. There really must have been a lot of people with a lot of tools 300 miles south of the Big Ice.
