10X to 40X Stereoscopic Microscope. An absolute
must have for any artifact collector. If you are
not examining your rock purchases under the
scope you are risking too much. 20X is the
standard power used by most people as any more
than that and it gets difficult to tell just
what you are seeing. Stereoscopic is very
important for getting a good 3D image so you can
see what is happening in hinge fractures and
distinguish sanding lines from material
stratifications. Just a few hours a week on one
of these and your knowledge about surface
characteristics will take a giant leap forward.
This one retailed for $395 when I bought it over
5 years ago. Lenses are not scratched and it is
in good shape. Has the dust cover as well.
Backlit bulb is burned out, top bulb is fine.
Easily replaceable, but I never use the backlit
bulb anyways. |

Alabama Lithic
Study Box. I called these Lithic Kits. Each has
artifacts from a state or region as marked. The
pieces are broken or otherwise damaged, so their
important value is in studying materials, patinas
and surface modification due to the passage of time
and element exposure. Knowing what the authentic
surface modifications are is a critical step in
collecting from region to region. These are perfect
for this purpose. Each box has a decent assortment
of types/materials. |

Folsom, Midland, Clovis,
Wyoming. The Folsom is broken, likely from
being thrust into prey as there is an impact flute
running the opposite way on one side. Very nice form

is a Clavis base which has been flaked into a
scraper measuring 1 1/8". The smallest is a very
thin Midland with a broken tip, measures 1" long.

come up it is a golden opportunity to get an
authentic one at a bargain. |

condition. Found in the 1960's. |
