Native Americans foraged and hunted most days and at night flintknapping by fire in the evening.

Over thousand upon thousand years erosion washed into streams or upturned by the plow. That is why so many are found but you never know whether it killed a fat bear prospector or was a failure tossed away like a crusty booger.
