What makes this type of research so valuable is the creation of the proper context within  which these experiments will be carried out.  This context will help to influence our decision-making processes and hopefully provide more meaningful results from our experiments than similar ones conducted in laboratory-like conditions.

A great deal of time, money, work and research have, and continue to be spent on procuring the proper natural resources, manufacturing the proper tools, constructing adequate shelters, etc.   Any possible donation of

	cordage materials (hemp)
	basketry supplies
	antlers
	food materials (dried corn, cranberries, acorn flour, etc.)
	recording equipment (digital camera & digital video camera)
	grass mats (for shelter construction)
	antlers
	lithic material

will greatly aid in making this aspect of the project a success.  In return, not only will you have the satisfaction of contributing to an important study focused on the prehistory of North America, but you will also be named as a contributor in every form of publication, lecture, poster, etc. resulting from this research. Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Unfortunately, all three of the grants I have applied for were rejected (the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the New Jersey Historical Grant).  They all failed to see the value and importance of experimental archaeology.  This gives us even more reason to forge ahead, do an outstanding job, and show the traditional archaeological community what we can do to compliment their research. We have been spending a great deal of time writing and sending out donation letters for a variety of materials we need for the project but do not necessarily have time to collect.  Some of these materials include natural fibers, antlers, basketry materials, grass mats, etc.  We have had some success with this effort but need more help.  If anyone has any suggestions for additional sources for donations (especially monetary), please let us know.  Thank you.
