The family detects ancient Spearhead in the farm in its Paris, Ontaras, ‘Freak’ Discovery
Both pieces were buried under the Earth for over 12,000 years. In this summer, they were not accidentally on a Paris, Onts, Dairy Farm.
For Laura Vellanga, finding that two parts of an ancient spear that is considered is once a lifetime.
“I knew it was something special,” he said, carefully praising two pieces of light brown flint in his hands.
“You can tell that it was created by a person and was teased by a person …. We found it about kilometers from here in the cornfield, behind the field. It was just a freak opportunity that we got it.”
The two pieces that he found, he connected like a puzzle to make about seven-centime-long pieces. Valenga wonders if a third piece is hidden on their farm because Spearhead is missing its tip.
Vellanga found pieces while working in the field with her husband, Mike Valega. He was driving his ATV through Cornfield when he heard that he was barely colliding in the soil.
“My husband looked down here and he sat in half a way buried in dirt; he thought (this) was like a piece of plastic.”
After lifting two pieces and tapping them against their ATV, Valengas immediately knew that they were not an ordinary rocks. He decided to take the pieces home, carefully, and looking for an archaeological specialist to be told more about his unique discovery.
Laura said, “13,000 years ago, before the pyramids, a human being, before any history we know about civilization, was held in his hand and made it and used it and used it and lived here.”
“It is exciting to think how different the world was (final) during the age of snow … then it is lost and now we are catching it after 13,000 years.”
‘Rare as chicken teeth’
The family turned to Christopher Ellis, a rare discovery to help to know more about the family, the family turned to Christopher Ellis, who is a major expert in Pelio and Archaeological Archeology from the Great Lex region.
Emerytus, a professor at Western University in Ellis, London, has spent uncontrolled and identified spearheads discovered by Vellangas.
They have not got a chance to hold artworks, but they have studied it using detailed paintings. He said that the way the family found that “there is a style that we know is the characteristic of the oldest documents in Ontario,” and that with the modern calendar, it would give it a date of 10,000 BC.
Ellis said that he was surprised to see that the family accidentally stumbled at the tip of the spear.
Alice told CBC News, “The hen’s teeth are rare. They are like a needle in a histor.”
“I only know about all seven digits of Brant County that have been reported over the years. There are not many of them and they are specific.”
Current Ohio Materials
Alice said that Spearhead Chart is made of flint rock – a material is not naturally found in the area where the field is located.
He said, “This is from an Ohio source, which is from South Central Ohio, which will be about 300 or 400 kilometers away,” he said, even though a hunter can be taken to Ontario by a hunter in search of food, family and love.
“A part of the reason (for travel) is that people were living in very small groups. The entire population of southern Ontario can be in 150 people and small groups, so they maintain contacts on broad areas because … they are Michigan, and Ohio, and Ohio, and exchanging the equipment and raw materials with people in the state of New York.”
Ellis described the chirt flint rock as easy as flake and glass. He said that it would have taken considerable skills and patience to shape the Spearhead in an ideal point.
“They were almost an art form. It was much higher for them than just equipment. They went by their way to get some raw materials, the best quality for them. They wanted them to look great.”
