A brief picture guide to eight basic artifact types left by prehistoric Native
Americans in New England. Learn the basic items and tools left by ancient New
England residents.
We have much to learn about the Native Americans who lived here for at least
10,000 years before the arrival of European colonists. One way to do so is through
a study of the tools and weapons they used. When you visit museums with prehistoric
Indian collections, look for some of these items.
REMEMBER: if you discover any human remains or artifacts -- DO NOT touch or move them.
Archeologists get a great deal of information from where an object is located
and how it is positioned. Moving the object, even slightly, can destroy valuable
clues that may solve an intriguing mystery. Native American groups are interested
in repatriating some artifacts and all human remains, so treat all items with
respect.
When you find items, be sure to contact your local historical society or your
state or university archeologist. Professionals will know what steps to take.
Consider donating items for study. Feel free to send a digital photo of items
and we will try to get them to professionals. We do not offer information on the
sale of such items and cannot offer recommendations on commercial value. Our interest
is strictly in gathering historic information.
