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.
