Offered in 0 more formatsA former high school teacher who has always been interested in history and archaeology, Owens has been an old west and Indian antique dealer at shows across the western US for the past 26 years. He offers amateurs and professionals a concise view of Paleo and Archaic projectile points from all over the US. The main section is the gallery, in which, for the period 20,000-1,000 BC, he identifies 121 types by illustrating examples in photographs or drawings, describing the physical features, identifying distribution and association and age and cultural affiliation, citing the date and place the example was found, and adding any remarks. Other chapters consider such topics as American prehistoric culture timeline, flint knapping techniques, types of stone used to make projectile points, price guide, other Indian stone and pipe artifacts, and birdpoints. The introduction is from an 1972 version, but a new preface is included. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
