Description
"Paul Schanen's fascination with Wisconsin's prehistoric people began at an early age. Schanen found his first projectile point at age 15, and that transformative experience has led to decades of his research and documentation of sites all over Wisconsin. As a student of Anthropology and Geography at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, Paul examined and preserved thousands of artifacts. Among this was an incredible range of Old Copper Culture pieces. Eventually, Paul went on to co-write a Wisconsin-specific Native American artifact guide: Native American Artifacts of Wisconsin. It's brief chapter about Copper artifacts left Paul feeling as though there was still much more research to be done. This eventually led to the creation of his more comprehensive book: Patina." --Bill Schulz, accomplished musician, artist, and researcher

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.
