Hi to all!

I am interesting in lithic raw material sources of northeastern
North America. I hold a lithic reference center at Montreal, a non-profit
organization for archaeologists.

I have a special request. Did anyone have extra lithic raw material
samples to swap with me? We have now many samples from southern Quebec,
notably black cherts and dark gray cherts, radiolarians chert, silicified
red shale (secondary deposit), hornfels, volcanites and rhyolites. Also,
blue calcedony, agate and cherts from Gaspesia peninsula. Samples from
outside Quebec are necessary for my research in lithic procurement systems
during prehistory and I am sure that our samples can help you in your own
area. Any sample are must welcome. Contact ycodere@ulix.net


Thank's a lot!
