About the Author

Paul Schanen has spent more than 20 years researching and documenting sites all over Central Wisconsin. Eventually, Paul went on to study Anthropology and Geography at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. While in Stevens Point, Paul worked on a number of archaeological dig sites and spent countless hours working in the Regional Archaeology Center where he handled, identified and preserved thousands of artifacts from around the Badger State. Since leaving school, Paul has become keenly aware of the need for a Wisconsin-specific Native American artifact guide. Paul's inspiration, initiative, and perseverance were invaluable in the creation of this guide. David Hunzicker's passion for archaeology began when the family's modest arrowhead collection was passed to him at age 12. The powerful experience of discovering and collecting these ancient artifacts has made him a lifelong student of the prehistory of his home state of Wisconsin. A collector since 1991 and published author in multiple professional journals, David has developed an open and inclusive perspective of our collective responsibility to treasure and preserve the evidence that remains of the prehistoric inhabitants of Wisconsin. David holds a B.A. in Geology from Carleton College with minors in Archaeology and Environmental Studies, and an M.A. in Museum Education from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
