Alberta Museum Purchases Rare Native Canadian Artifacts

Museum Archaeology Collection Expands

It is appropriate that during National Museum Month the Royal Alberta Museum has purchased several aboriginal artifacts as reported in today's Globe and Mail.

These purchases and recent additions will make this collection one of the best in North America Stan Reynolds, one of the most famous collectors of historical aboriginal material in western Canada, has provided many types of stone tools, such as arrowheads and spear points, but also artifacts made of shell, bone, antler, glass and metal. Reynolds has artifacts going back
to the very earliest evidence of human occupation of Alberta, dating back some 11,000 years.
