In 1981, near the spot of this cache, archaeologists found “an ephemeral chipping station of an unknown age and cultural affiliation.” In other words, they found some pieces of chert that someone had left behind some time in the past when they paused to make or sharpen a tool or weapon.
The camouflage-covered cache is an over-sized sandwich container. Leave the piece of chert in the bag so that everyone can see what chert looks like. This cache contains a rotating rock collection. Take a rock with you so you can trade for one in the container.
If you should happen to find other rocks while you are walking at Havenwoods that look like they might have been tools or weapons, note the GPS coordinates where you found them. Then take the rocks and the coordinates to the education center. It is illegal to remove artifacts or otherwise disturb archaeological sites on state lands without a permit.
