      Excavations will be contiinued at this unique Middle Stage Cumberland habitation site on top a bluff overlooking the winding Red River. More of the original 14,500 year-old occupation zone will be investigated. Flaked stone tools and debitage will be recovered and added to the nearly 22,000 specimens that have catalogued to date.
     The Phil Stratton site has witnessed archaeological excavations since 1999. This field season will mark the 12th year of investigations. More than 100 people have helped lay bare this exceedingly rare manifestation of the Cumberland Palaeo-American Tradition.
     Camping at the site is possible. Conditions are semi-primitive, that is to say, potable water is in good supply a few hundred yards from the site, and a portable toilet will be situated nearby. The nearest motels may be found in Russellville, KY -- approximately nine miles to the north on Route 96.

Participants will have many opportunities to search nearby cultivated fields for vestiges of stone tool-using cultures.

Cost is $40 per person, payable in advance, please. This fee goes towards equipment, expendable supplies and the porta-john.

Expect occasional challenging weather conditions at this time of the year.
