We were not aware of the new exhibit at the museum. Am very much looking forward to seeing this. We have hunted for artifacts for quite awhile. At first only arrowheads and tools that were easily distinguished. Recently, we have opened our eyes to many other types of tools. We have found many, many things we believe to have been used as tools. Lots have distinct finger spots chipped out. Some we are not so sure about. Is there a good reference for stone tools. We have not been able to find one. Do you know of anyone we can talk with or show these to? We are very curious as to what some of them were used for, also as to the abundance of them. We would appreciate any information you may have on this. Thanks, Nancy Dear Rick, We recently saw you on the becoming human program on Nova. We were not aware of the new exhibit at the museum.
