Native American Relics
 I'm creating these
pages as a way to catalogue my collection and learn about point typology.
It's also the place where I'll be recording the notes I take while doing
research on ancient America. These points are not for sale though I am
occasionally interested in purchasing old collections especially if they are
personal finds. Personal recollections by the finder about the finding of the
artifacts are definitely of interest to me. Many times the story is more
interesting than the point itself.
