ITEM #AT001:   $370.00

This is a special collection of stone items replicated by Dr. Arizona that provides a good start for a suitcase archaeology project.   These are generic artifacts that can be used to teach about the type of stone tools that are found by archaeologists.   They are not placed into displays since they are intended to be part of a hands on teaching program where the students can handle the artifacts.   All replicas in this collection are "edged" (meaning the edges have been ground for safe handling).   Included in this collection are: three flake tools, an obsidian punch, a chert hand drill, a pump drill set, a hafted scraper, a willow scraper, two gravers, ten utilized flakes, an end scraper, a paint mortar and pestle, a hammerstone, a soapstone bowl, a chopper, two arrowheads, a spear point, and a ground slate point.

ITEM #EK015:   $275.00

This is a replication of the display board used by Dr. Arizona at her demonstrations and talks.   It shows the types of flintknappable materials, the various types of tools that could be made, a complete arrowhead reduction sequence, and basic identified flake types.

ITEM #AT002:   $100.00

These items have been pulled together to allow teachers to set up their own sandbox dig.   Included are a multitude of broken artifacts, a few completed artifacts, debitage of all kinds, ecofacts and other items.   Both prehistoric and historic periods are represented in this collection.   The different categories of items are packaged seperately and can be bought seperately if desired or all together.   You can select between the items to represent different activity areas or time periods.
