ASAA Organizer Dr. R. Michael Gramly will offer a presentation:
The Hole-in-the-Wall Agate Source: Inter- and Intra-Regional Movement of a Rare Raw Material
Dr. Gramly notes: “A heretofore unknown lithic source in remote north-central Nevada (Churchill County) is proving to be important within the Great Basin and much farther afield -- as far east as the confluence of the Wabash and Ohio Rivers!”
Artifacts discovered among the famous East Wenatchee Clovis cache in Washington state, at which Dr. Gramly was instrumental in the excavations, appear to have been made of this same showy lithic material, and it has even been identified in Hopewell culture artifacts in Ohio. Remarkable indeed!
Also, always: SHOW AND TELL, and EXPERT IDENTIFICATION
PLEASE BRING YOUR ARTIFACTS!!
Invite your friends!
PUBLIC ALWAYS WELCOME! FREE ADMISSION!
