If you've found something of interest, either in your backyard or in your travels, why not share it with us and we'll post it here with some information about the object.

First up, these artifacts were brought to our attention from a woman who used to live near Welsford, NB.

The ground stone gouge on the left matches similar examples from Maine which date to approximately 6,000 years old. The tool was used to remove large amounts of wood in the process of making items like bowls or dug out canoes. Of the two arrowheads in the picture on the right, the left one is similar to a variant named after the Meadowood type site in New York State. Along with this diagnostic point type, the Meadowood introduced ceramics to the region approximately 3,000 years ago. The quartz arrowhead on the right is another Maritime Woodland specimen found in the same location.

The artifacts below all come from a collector in south-western New Brunswick. These specimens cover a relatively large span in both geography and chronology. They were found in both riverine and lacustrine environments.
