The Oklahoma Anthropological Society will host Artifact Identification Day on Saturday, July 20th where anyone may bring objects they have discovered and learn about them from experts.
The program is free, sponsored by the Oklahoma Anthropological Society and held at the Pioneer Woman Museum, Ponca City, Ok.
Although identification of projectile points is subjective at best, local avocational archeologists will identify the items to the best of their ability and provide insights about the history connected to them.
Artifacts will be examined on a first-come, first-served basis, and participants should limit their collections to no more than 20 objects.
Experts will not appraise or speculate about the value of the items.
The Oklahoma Archeological Survey has recorded at least 534 prehistoric and historic sites in Kay County, Oklahoma alone. “Oklahoma’s archaeological record dates back over 14,000 years to the end of the last ice age,” Oklahoma residents regularly encounter artifacts and evidence of the historic and prehistoric past. This program provides an opportunity for people who have found artifacts to learn more about their discoveries, and about Oklahoma’s archaeological heritage.
Pioneer Woman Museum is located at 701 Monument Road, Ponca City, Oklahoma.
