Snake River Page 1 Page 2        
           

 

  This page contains ancient arrowheads and artifacts which were recovered on the Snake River in Idaho, as well as other sites in Idaho... From all appearances, the Snake River artifacts are a close cousin to Columbia River relics and rival the artifacts found on the Columbia River both in the beauty of the exotic host stone materials as well as craftsmanship.
