Artifacts

It seems that when we're not out collecting fossils or minerals we spend our time digging in the dirt for pieces of pottery and other old broken bits. (Just can't keep our hands out of the ground.) These pages include artifacts from two locations: A Two thousand year old garbage heap left over from one of the ancient ports in Rome. (I understand the site has now been closed to the public.) And an Huron Indian Village near Lake Simcoe which was documented by Samuel de Champlain in the early 1600's. Here are some photographs. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Most of the photographs include a scale, which is in inches.

I have made an effort to make these pages easy to download by restricting the size of the image files. A thumbnail page will load first for each location. If you want to see a larger image, click on the small image.
