| All of the artifacts on this page were found by me personally and have been documented by date of find, site location, and location within each site. I also attach a catalog number on each artifact to link it to my documentation. These artifacts have also been collected from the surface of agriculturally disturbed fields in South Central New York State with the permission of the private land owners. I do not advocate excavation, digging or "pot hunting" by amateurs, nor do I participate in such activities. I support excavation by professional archaeologists only or by avocationals and interested people only if supervised by professionals. None of the artifacts you view here are for sale, nor will they be offered for sale at any time. I hope that you will enjoy viewing the artifacts on these pages and that it will inspire you to learn more about the aboriginal people groups that lived where you currently do. |

The surface nearest the ruler is flat & smooth. |
