Cache of 19th Century Artifacts Found in Gaines County
A cache of 26 metal artifacts was found near Cedar Lake in Gaines County by Leon Pope and Jay Blaine. The items, likely related to Plains Indians of the Historic period, include C shaped brass bracelets, buttons, brass wire stock, nails, a probable trigger guard, and several lead objects. Dated to 1810 to 1860, the collection suggests a Native American origin, probably Comanche or allies, and was recovered during a controlled excavation with artifacts preserved in situ.
