Site Index:
 
Paleo Pages
These pages contain artifacts, relics, tools and arrowheads specific to the Paleo time era, which was the very first period in time that the Native American Indians inhabited the New World (USA) Therefore, these are the oldest artifacts to be found in the United States, and are of the Clovis / Folsom era. (See the museum page for dates)
 
Archaic Pages
These pages contain artifacts and arrowheads specific to the Archaic period which lasted for 7,000 years. (see the museum page for dates) One major characteristic of the Archaic period was the introduction of "notches" to arrowheads and since this period covers such a broad time span, more different "types" of arrowheads can be attributed to this era than any other era.
 
Other Periods Pages
Artifacts and arrowhead from all other time eras (other than Paleo and Archaic), such as the Woodland period are collectively grouped on these pages for the entire United States.
 
Big Blades Pages
These pages list larger knife blades, typically over 6" in length from all over the United States.
 
Anasazi Pages
This page contains an offering of ALL SORTS of items specific to the Anasazi tribal culture; it normally contains pottery, arrowheads, tools, baskets, beads, clay figures and many more items specific to this culture.
 
Great Basin Pages
These pages contain stone artifacts and arrowheads specific to the mostly desert regions of the Great Basin. (Western California, Nevada, Eastern Utah, Southern Idaho, Southeastern Oregon and Southwestern Wyoming) The favored material for stone tools was mostly obsidian, in many different flavors, although other chert and agate material also comes from the Great Basin. Currently we list ALL Californian material on these pages, due to the similarities of host material and typology.
 
Columbia River Pages
These pages offer a great variety of arrowheads and other stone tools which come from the Columbia River and it's many tributaries in Northern Oregon and Washington. The Columbia River is well know for it's exotic rock types and this beauty is reflected in artifacts coming from this area. Many of the arrowheads and other relics found in these areas were made from colorful petrified wood, and a rainbow of agate materials.
 
Snake River Pages
This one is a very close cousin to the Columbia River, and actually empties into the Columbia River; it features artifacts from very similar host stone and typology as is found on the Columbia River. This one was chosen as a separate page category, because most of the items were found in Idaho, although we probably will combine this one with the Columbia River pages in the future.
 
Gulf Coastal Pages
These pages contain artifacts specific to the Florida / Georgia regions. Many of the relics listed on these pages are river-salvaged items of colorful red and orange Coastal Plains Chert.
 
Gem Points Pages
Arrowheads listed on these pages are either made from very colorful and beautiful materials, often having unusual "patterns" OR, they are of a high quality of craftsmanship, or both ! Basically the best of the best qualify to appear on these pages
 
Bone, Shell (and Ornamental Stone) Pages
These pages contain a wide variety of different artifacts made from bone, shell or incised stone. Some of the ancient tools listed on this page would be bone awls, abalone shell pendants, and incised, decorative stone items.
 
Flint Tools Pages
These pages contain flint, chert and other host stone's "knapped" tools from all over the United States. An example of some of these tools would be drills, knife blades, awls and scrapers.
 
Axes and Stone Tools Pages
These pages contain axes, mauls, mortars, pestles as well as other "hardstone" tools manufactured by the pecking and polishing process.
 
Trade Beads
In addition to the European glass trade beads, these pages also have every other type of bead imaginable, from stone, shell, dentalium and metal components.
 
Perishables and Basketry
This page comes and goes, as perishable relics are hard to come by, and the baskets don't seem to last very long before they're grabbed up.
 
Old World and Foreign Pages (Pre-Columbian too)
This page offers very ancient artifacts from the Old World (Africa and Europe) as well as from other countries outside of the United States. This also includes pre-columbian artifacts of all kinds.
 
Field Grade and Bargain Pages
These pages not only offer common or slightly damaged field grade arrowheads, but also groups of nice arrowheads at a bargain price.
 
The Bookstore Page
This page contains links to be able to purchase not only artifact related books, but other books which cover the Native American's way of life as well. We also publish a "book review" section on this page for the books we recommend, as well as those which we advise against.
 
Museum Page
Our museum page covers a very wide range of topics, and is informative without getting too technical, in other words, the articles are written in plain English !... I believe that no matter what level of a collector you might be, there is something of interest for everyone on this page.
 
Want List Page
This page is almost dead, and will most likely be removed in the future. It was originally intended for posting items which people wanted to purchase, but it's been mostly neglected.
 
Feedback Page
This page contains candid and unsolicited feedback (BOTH positive AND negative) which we have received from our customers over the years.
 
Reciprocal Links Page
If you operate an artifact or Native American Indian website and would like to exchange reciprocal links with our website, this page has all the tools you need to accomplish this.
 
How To Order Page
This page is worth visiting at least one time before you purchase items from us, as it explains the entire ordering process.
 
Contact Us Page
This one has our mailing address, phone number and email link.
 
Featured Items Page
This page features the best of the best which is offered elsewhere on our website, although I have to confess, since we move material so quickly, I don't often have the spare time to keep this one updated properly.
 
New Stuff Page
On this page we show photographs of our latest release's offerings. Normally you can click on a single photo on this page to jump to that item's listing, description and price. In cases where we add entirely new pages, clicking on the photo will only take you to the new page, not to the item's specific listing. (That would be too much work for me, and doesn't make very much sense, since everything on the page is new, and you'll probably want to browse over all the new offerings) We try to have a new release every 3 to 6 weeks, and each new release normally consists of somewhere between 100 and 200 newly listed items. We also post the next scheduled release date at the top of this page, once it has been determined.
