List, I am interested in acquiring a sub-meter GPS unit of any brand, whether cumbersome (backpack, antenna) or handheld (preferably Ashtech, Trimble, or Thales), as well as books on California, Northwest, Great Basin, and Russian prehistoric archaeology. The specimens include many achondrites, including low TKW specimens. I am a student of geoarchaeology, and I conduct independent fieldwork in Southern California. I cannot afford to keep my collection, purchased from 2003 - 2005, if pursuing such activities. Although my current tools are effective, I must refrain from identifying objects and features in undisturbed contexts with consumer-grade GPS technology, even with <3m of horizontal error. Theodolites and accurate GPS units will permit x,y,z measurement without the problem of extending lines great distances in the wind - problematic if depths have differences <10cm. I have no income at the moment. I don't need GIS/CAD software or a computer (already covered). Back and current issues of journals such as Geoarchaeology and Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology are accepted. Surveying equipment (theodolites, clinometers,a Brunton pocket transit) and soil sampling equipment, as well as a decent scale of >2kg capacity are acceptable.
