An arrowhead was among several stone tools uncovered at a gas line construction site in Utah. Credit: Footage from FOX 13While working on the construction of a Questar gas line in Utah, construction workers uncovered some materials that gave them pause.
According to a report from FOX 13 TV, after finding soot-stained rock and charcoal debris, the workers called in the archaeologists who quickly confirmed that the crew had uncovered an ancient homestead.
The station reports archaeologists have since uncovered stone tools, “chipped rocks, animal bones and an obsidian cutting tool or hunting tip.” It is believed the site housed a community some 1,500 years ago.
Once all of the artifacts are uncovered, archaeologists say they will bury the site and construction on the pipeline will resume.
