| Darcetta Mueller called after reading one of the local newspaper articles
that stated we were looking for local artifact collections. Her husband,
Russell, has collected these during his years of farming and he is now
in possession of the Gilbert Schroeder collection, Mr. Mueller's uncle.
We start off with a large celt, commonly referred to as an ungrooved
axe. Below, left is a bifacial knife from the Archaic period. To the top
right of the knife is a nice Kirk Bifurcate, one of the few I have seen.
Next comes another Kirk Corner Notch followed by the top of a Hardin, but
that is just a guess. The reason I have picked Hardin is the left-hand
beveling and the upward lift of the barb area. To the lower right of the
large knife is a small bifacial tool, next is a resharpened
"probable" Kirk. A possible partial Brewerton is next and the last
artifact is a heavily resharpened Kramer.
Again, I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. and Mrs. Mueller
for sharing their collection and the collection that Mr. Gilbert Schroeder
spent years putting together.
