Howdy Heidivie,We have collected artifacts for a long time... found a "war club", stone axe head, and many arrow heads. We took some classes at Western State College from Dr. Pitblado. She was an amazing professor, learned how to do a field survey and how to file the finds. www.PaleoIndian.com One of the most important things to remember is to take a camera with you so when you spot an artifact you can take a photo of it "en situ" before you desterb the site. Just put a piece of flagging there and slowly walk in an expanding spiral around it. There may be evidence of knapping or other daily activities. That one arrowhead may be the indicator for a whole encampment with many things to find. But if you don't locate the site very accurately, take the artifact without marking it's orientation and location... all that effort is lost and the job for the next guy/gal becomes much harder. A little education and the next thing ya know you'll find stuff you've been walking right over for years... ie the Hwy 287 story in Wyo. Happy Trails kiddos! |
