Indian Antiquities and a Smithsonian Hall of 20 000 Pieces
The Smithsonian owns the Hallett Phillips collection of Indian implements from the Potomac valley. With over 20 000 pieces including spear heads knives and pottery fragments it is the world’s largest of its kind. Phillips studied prehistoric life in the Atlantic tidewater and argues Washington was not the first Potomac capital. The site’s quarry and river fisheries backed Algonquin power and Captain John Smith’s early voyage describes a fight in Anacostia. A separate note recalls a lawyer and an elevator incident illustrating politeness rewards.
