>>>Dear Archeologists,
>>>
>>> My name is James Miller. I am working on a Humanities project
>>> about an artifact I found on Wednesday, October 19. This was found in
>>> a midden (an old dump) that was in use from roughly 1880 to 1935 and is
>>> located in Tyler State Park, Newtown, PA. I need to research that
>>> artifact. My artifact is a metal bar 16 cm long. The circumference is
>>> 8.5 cm. It is 1 cm thick and 2.5 cm wide at the top, while the bottom
>>> is 2.5 wide and thick. The ridge on the bottom rises 1 mm above the
>>> surface of the main bar. If you fill in the 'valleys' it is a hollow
>>> cylinder. It is very smooth. It has 6 ridges. Its color is a dull
>>> gray with a small circle of green corrosion at the top. The ends of
>>> two opposite ridges are flattened. The top of the bar is flattened in
>>> the same direction. There is a raised line on the bottom that goes in
>>> the same direction as the flattened top. The artifact has the tiniest
>>> bit of shine. There is no writing or distinguishing features. I
>>> believe that I found the entire artifact with no parts missing. Please
>>> e-mail me back at <mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]
