SUMMARY:What Is It?
DESCRIPTION:Bring your ceramics\, arrowheads\, pottery\, and other artifacts\, to the Mathews Historical Museum to have them identified.\n\nThis annual event is co-hosted by the Mathews Historical Museum and the Fairfield Foundation.\n\nThere is no charge for this event.\n\nOn site will be a special guest\, antiquities authority William (Bill) Pitman\, formerly Curator of\nArchaeological Collections at Colonial Williamsburg\, now retired and affiliated with the Fairfield\nFoundation. The Museum has enjoyed hosting this event in past years and is pleased to bring it back this\nyear. “What we’ve found from experience\, is that some of the objects are very difficult to\nidentify\,” notes Museum President\, Tom Robinson. “And if we can’t identify the object that night\,\nwe will work with the owner to determine its provenance.”
