Subject: Latest thoughts
Hello Charlie:
Sorry for the slow response; I have been a bit tied up.
I have attached jpgs of the material you sent. These are relatively
high magnification in reflected light, so as to see opaque materials.
The hard material is clearly pyrite, based on the color and the
cube edges at the margin of the material. The composition was verified
in the SEM.
The soft material contains translucent grains of silicone material
in a matrix of lead. The dark grains are sand.
Your sites do look man-made, but the age is the question. I tend to
think that there might have been some metallurgy going on there ,
but it was likely historic. The pellets you showed in your last
e-mail are interesting. Could they be lead? If so, I wonder if this
was a site where bullets were being cast. Another question, have you
been able to show that the blow holes connect to the pits?
I will show your latest artifact pictures to my archeologist friend,
but he has said that he is not an expert on Texas archeology.

Heres a Clovis blade, found at a new unit, that's eroded just to the point of exposing the Pleistocene gravel strata (Igl):
