Archaic Shelter, Tools, Bones
Dane:
My wife is very cool, in that she didnt mind my going off and tramping around a rock shelter this past Valentine's Day. The "Rock House" is located near Ware, Massachusetts, and worth visiting. After that, my buddy and I took some time to visit the Amherst College museum of natural history. The place is great, free, and they have stuff worth multiple visits. To me, the high point was the small collection of ancient stone tools they have on display. The Neanderthal tools average about 4" tall. I didn't even ask if I could borrow them, lol.

wow that looks like a great way to spend a weekend! :)

It is a really fine little museum. They have some paintings and dioramas showing this area, the Connecticut River Valley, as it appeared during the Jurasic period. Very arid and tropical, which would be nice right now. They also have a great little map of what the area looked like during the last ice age, when Lake Hitchcock existed. Hard to iimagine my lttle town under all that ice.
