Artifacts & Artisans | HOMESTEAD | FALL HARVEST | NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY

After stowing venison from the fall hunt in the elevated food cache, Peter harvests the rutabaga and parsnips from the garden and stores them in the root cellar for the winter. He then spends time looking at some artifacts of the Indigenous people of North America, from the Stone Age through European contact, discussing how many of them were made and used. These include arrowheads, knife blades, splitting mauls, axes, gouges, bone needles, fleshing tools, mortar and pestle and clay pots. Stone tools were made by stone chipping. Arrowheads were made from flint and were knapped. Finally, he plants garlic, thereby finishing gardening for the season. Garlic is always planted in late fall and mulched for the winter.
