Editorial Review: Product Description: Projectile points of American Indians have long been objects of interest to students and historians. This book has hundreds of photos, information about geographic origin, methods of production, sizes, and a special section on detecting fakes. 2002 values.

Rating:  - Essential reading to identify and know arrowheads.This 223 page's book is an excellent introduction to the world of prehistoric amerindian projectile points and arrowheads. In some very nice photos and inscriptions you could find the "keys" to what you collect, their relative prices, regional classification and chipping techniques. A simple and practical relation describes the U.S. materials used to make arrowheads and blades including all the regional types, edges, shapes, individual characteristics of each piece and instructions to take ...
