A graduate from the University of Northern Idaho was kind enough to show us some of the techniques he uses to capture the beauty of artifacts. Step one is to locate a suitable subject ( sometimes 3 to 4 cubic yards of dirt have to be moved aside ) Record the subject just as it was uncovered. Point in hand is traditional, enhanced in this case with a double image. Suitable subjects can be elusive, even under tree roots.
