Insitu Pictures

Insitu is a term Avocationals and collectors alike use that means "in situation" or "just as you found it".  Here are pictures of some of my artifact recoveries just as the artifact was before I touched it.  In essence, you are seeing what I saw as I walked up to the artifact.  Enjoy!

Below: I walked into this field, only to see footprints.  The footprints walked into the field and then turned to go Northeast, well I kept going straight and found this Levanna point fully exposed.  That was the story of that particular day.  The footprints of the other person seemed to wander here and there, yet a careful row by row search turned up many points, pottery, and pitted stones. I wonder what that piece of chert to the right of the point was.....didn't see that until I was home looking at this photo.

Below: This Levanna was found the same day and on the same site as the one pictured to it's left.  I found this one about 30 feet away from where the one on the left was found.  Again, this was an area skipped by the set of footprints.  What a nice day to find spend out in the fields!  It almost looks like an arrowshaft could be attached to it under the soil, doesn't it.
