ARROWHEAD LIST COMPILED/SENT FROM CONSIGNOR
This artifact sale includes something for all levels of collectors. There are box lots of partials and various lithic materials that will help both the beginner and the avid collector learn more about the history of some of our Native people and the tools they made. These box lots would be a great way to introduce a group of boy scouts or other youth to the amazing history that can be discovered on local native sites. There are exceptional artifacts as well, that experienced collectors will want to add to their collection. There will be artifacts from Franklin and Cumberland County, Lancaster County, Kentucky, Ohio and a few other states. With the increased development of land and many farmers now using no-till practices the opportunities to acquire native artifacts are becoming more and more scarce. In addition to 140 lots of artifacts, there will be various books related to archaeology, artifacts and lives of the native people. Many of these books would be good resources for either identifying artifacts or being coming more educated in the excavation of prehistoric sites.
