John Trussell
and Stephen Hammack visited two small caves along the
Houston-Macon County lines in August 2006 to look for evidence
of petroglyphs. Only the Houston cave was large enough to crawl
into, though John (the 2007 OAS Treasurer) put on his thinking
cap and opted to take the pictures. John's photo of Stephen
emerging from the cave in an uncomfortable position caught
Stephen as quite humorous. No petroglyphs were found, but
graffiti that may prove to date back to the 19th or early 20th
centuries was noted outside the cave.
Despite local legend, no underground passageway to Montezuma was
discovered. More research is needed before recording the cave as
a site.

chapter, expounds on Georgia lithics to David Mincey (the 2007
OAS President)
and John Trussell during a
brief lull at the Ocmulgee Archaeological Society's Artifact ID
Day in Thomaston in December 2006. This event was held in
conjunction with the Upson County Historical Society at the
Archives building in downtown Thomaston and attracted scores of
people from all over the county with many, many artifacts.

members and the general public gather for the Ocmulgee
Archaeological Society's Artifact ID Day in Vienna (Dooly

with the Vienna Historic Preservation Society on the town square
in downtown Vienna, and was also very successful.
