This section of the AACA website is dedicated to the further education of artifact collectors. This section is provided by the members of the AACA who contribute articles, photos, stories and tips on collecting. This section will stand as an example of the dedication that AACA members have in educating those interested in the protection and preservation of American Indian Artifacts through responsible collecting.
The best way to guarantee you are building a collection of authentic artifacts is by learning as much as you can about artifacts in general and educate yourself on all aspects of Prehistoric American Indian life ways and cultures as well as the tools they used in their daily living.
If you would like to contribute or have an idea for a topic for The Learning Center. Please email me and let me know!
