Welcome to the online home of the NELD Workgroup!
- Lithics constitute the bulk of archaeological artifacts in the Northeast. Archaeologists and geologists in the region are reexamining how lithic materials are classified and sourced. The Northeast Lithic Database Workgroup (NELD) is comprised of a cooperative group of archaeologists, geologists and other interested parties. This workgroup has recognized a need to compile information concerning lithic materials and their sources in the Northeast. The workgroup is in the process of developing a database on the world wide web to facilitate lithic research.
