Jack Hranicky
Jack Hranicky is a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA). During his forty-year career his scholarship has focused on the Paleo-Indian period and, in particular, stone tools and rock art. He has published more than 200 scholarly papers and 32 books, including a two-volume, 800-page survey of the material culture of Virginia. He is the webmaster of www.bipoints.com, which is a site on American early prehistory.〔()〕
==Excavations==
In 2011, Hranicky excavated the Spout Run site in Virginia, which he and the current landowners claim is a paleo-calendar, and announced it as the oldest, extant above-ground site in North America.〔http://nativetimes.com/life/culture/6360-rock-circles-linked-to-ancient-indian-site Associated Press〕〔''http://www.clarkedailynews.com/archaeologist-claims-12000-year-old-solstice-site-in-clarke-county/25889 Clarke Daily News〕 However, the results of his work at the site have not yet been peer-reviewed and it remains to be seen whether the rocky areas are natural or cultural features, or if there are actually any Paleoindian artifacts present.
Among the growing list of features claimed for the 2-mile complex are a series of concentric rock rings and associated fire hearth, rock art including two sets of "hand prints", direct alignment with both solar solstices, alignment east-to-west with the seasonal equinoxes, a lunar focus, as well as the site’s major feature, a stone altar which also aligns with the summer solstice.〔http://www.clarkedailynews.com/archaeologist-says-rockart-found-at-local-paleoindian-site/29289 Clarke Daily News〕 No other known Paleoindian sites exist with any of these features, casting doubt on the age and validity of the site.
