We replicate/reconstruct artifacts for research, display, and educational purposes.  Museums, historical societies, and other institutions can begin collections, augment collections, or restore collections affected by N.A.G.P.R.A. with our authentic replications.  These replications not only look authentic; are also thoroughly researched and manufactured  from the same materials and technologies thought to have been used originally, and so are well suited for use in the      classroom,      as an experimental research project, or in the field.   Each replication comes complete with information compiled during the initial research on the artifact, the procurement and processing of materials, and the final manufacturing and assembly of the replication.
