Precontact Artifacts
Our Precontact Room, located on the 2nd floor of the museum, contains over 1,000 artifacts representing all precontact eras from Paleoindian to Late Prehistoric. Artifacts are organized in chronological order by type of artifact, along with a timeline showing and explaining how people during that time lived and used the associated artifacts.
