<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 585973, member: 10171"]Yes, of course. Depending on the 'big city' - back doors might include the local anthropology dept of a University... they, like here, are very 'willing' to respond to emails and jot a word or two to get you going, might even be an expert themselves... (I had some 'arrowheads' and was fortunate enough to learn that in my 'big city' [you might have heard of it in the news: D.C., or as I call it, modern day Sodom] within two emails (I started with my alma mater anthro dept) was directed to the director of the first discovered Clovis site on the east coast... he invited me to see him, and I became a kid in his candy shop.) So you never know until you ask. Poke the internet for 'pre Columbian' authors, professors, departments, in the city of your choice, and shoot em an email. Be creative, and don't look for a 'one stop shop' - it may take several tries. Sometimes, the smaller the initial contact the better (the bigger the busier).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
