Display Tips
  There are times when the artifacts you have can not be displayed within a frame style setting.  Some example of this are Manos Metates, Shaft Straighteners, Large stone Items, Pots, and Bowls. 

     Some of these items are the most difficult to find a great way of displaying them.  My belief is that there is no wrong way of displaying them, as long as they are displayed.  Where you can not put these Items in a frame style display they usually end up on a book shelf, or on a shelf with other similar items.  As I stated before, this is a great way to display them if you want, but, here are things to think about and some ideas that you may to consider when putting these artifact up for display;

1. 
What type of display should I use?

2. 
Should I use many different type of
   
artifacts within the same display?

3. 
Should I us color for a background?

4. 
Should I use glass to protect the artifacts?

5. 
Should I use Light in a display?

     This is very much a work in progress.  Please e-mail with your own tips and considerations and I will add them to this page.  I am striving to make this page an open forum.
