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. |

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. |

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

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. |

vessels (when we have them in stock). |

Best Stuff 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 300
newly listed items. We also post the next scheduled release date at
the top of this page, once it has been determined. |
