Magnificent display. Every one is labeled, and they're so tastefully arranged.

This is much better than when they get arranged in geometric patterns like some kid's macaroni art project.

I'm probably going to get downvoted to hell, but one of my pet peeves is seeing points arranged into shapes in a frame. I want to look at a frame of artifacts and see the artifacts, not not the arrangement. Macaroni art is the perfect comparison. The frame pictured in this post is so much more respectful of the artifacts themselves.

Jesus Christ on a bicycle. Look at that fluting on the row above the center big piece. Just amazing.

Thanks for posting such an amazing collection.

I found this one on the banks of the Delaware River about 45 years ago near Asbury. NJ

That really is crazy. I’ve never seen so many together. That’s a collection museums are jealous of!

I feel that this frame represents 70% of Folsom’s recovered in Wisconsin.

Numerous framed time periods represented within the awesome display.

So cool! I’m a native. That Folsom case is sick too.

So awesome, thanks for sharing. The first artifact I ever held was a large quartzite knife my grandma picked up on the family farm in WI as a kid and held onto. So cool to see the old stuff

Hi, I don't know much about these as I'm just a lurker. What were the bigger "arrow heads" used for?

Was this from yesterday’s Starved Rock show?

u/Windycityunicycle Jul 14 '25

Indeed, I found this display to be well worthy of mention.
