    This report is the result of a semester-long project in an advanced archaeological methods course at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). The goal of this research was to create a trade axe identification guide for museum curators using a technique called the dichotomous key. Carried out in the Fall of 2022 as the laboratory component of a class, the intent of the project was to teach students data collection, analysis, and dissemination through hands-on work.
