+ Paleo listings in the Field Grade and Mid Grade pages mostly from the Keith Glasscock collection, the plan is to continue offering collectors items from the Plains States of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. These listings are mostly basal sections many of which would make good restoration candidates, but more importantly can be used as reference specimens for evaluating regional materials, patina, mineralization, and flaking technology to help people avoid being bit by fakes. Some notable offerings include Folsoms, Midlands, and Cody types. Also have been acquiring some Neolithics for study, some of these relics are made of spectacular material, particularly the Mali Rainbow Cherts; will list a few individual items as well as sets. I have been focusing on the Crescents as the technology is remarkable in being similar to what we find in the NW Coast and Great Basin, came across this a website that has a nice summary written about Transverse Lunette Crescents for you to enjoy. If you are into Alibates or Tecovas, I have quite a number of good quality hide scrapers and tools to sell, most will be priced in the $5-20 each range depending upon size, flavor of Alibates, etc... Been receiving a ton of requests from people wishing to sell their artifacts, we really appreciate it and are looking for good sized collections from the Plains, Rockies, Great Basin, Alaska, or Northwest, if you have a collection to sell, send us an EMAIL with some good quality pictures and we can talk, I am willing to pay premium prices for artifacts made of gem materials like agate, petrified wood, nephrite jades, jasper, and some obsidians. Thank You and Respectfully, Rod Michel Phone 406-490-1091 and email rod_of_rock@yahoo.com |

BC & American Indian Artifacts specializes in NW and Columbia River arrowheads, relics, gold rush, trade items, bottles, basketry, carvings, minerals, fossils, ancient tools, museum quality, jade, crystal, coins, and antiques. We will buy, sell, and trade single items or large collections, and have appraisal, consignment, and identification services to suit your needs. Our specialty is in ancient artifact technology and we are working towards goals of obtaining fine quality arrowhead, lanceolate, and flaked knives and arrowheads from the Paleo, Windust, Clovis, Cascade, Old Cordilleran, Quilomene bar, Chilliwist phase, Artic Microcore Tool Tradition, and Archaic maritime coastal cultures. We do this for our own personal cabinets and as part of a long term project to classify, sketch, and publish a manuscript cross referencing northwest arrowhead typologies with known works by Perino, Stermer, Dietz, Butler, Strong, Seaman, Stewart, Fladmark, and other highly respected professionals who have or are currently contributing to the knowledge pool of the artifacts and arrowheads of the first North Americans in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, Utah, and Alaska. It is our hope that you will enjoy and support our website, we are artifact collectors, students, businessmen and are budding philanthropists. Our intent is not to offend, nor to encourage illegal activities or looting of important archaeological sites of their arrowheads and artifacts. We are completely against all immoral activities against the decency of the more noble aspects of artifact collecting. It is the advocational archaeologist whom brought archaeology forward with generous donations of money, time, resources, and of course relics into a slowly evolving science it is today. We are willing to do our part by providing full provenience on anything we have to offer, because it is important to document all artifacts, it is simply the right thing to do. |
