Book Description

February 1, 1997
Wouldn't it be terrific to become an expert in a given field without putting in years of practice? American Indian Artifacts builds upon the author's 22 years of experience in collecting and shows the reader how to avoid the pitfalls.

Journey back to a simpler time by comparing and evaluating the handiwork of American Indians. The history, design, and identification of numerous collectibles, such as baskets, pottery, quill and beadwork, hides, and jewelry, are marvelously presented.

This book is destined to become the new and trusted guidebook for both the beginning and expert collector.

"This book is not only enjoyable to read but is an invaluable sourcebook and a must for all collectors of North American Indian artifacts". -- Gloria Bodgon, Cherokee, Professor of Anthropology

This review is from: American Indian Artifacts: How to Identify, Evaluate and Care for Your Collection (Paperback)
I was so disappointed and dismayed that I paid shipping in two directions for this book based on the previous review. There are practically no photos in this book whatsoever, it is completely useless as an indentification tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, fact-filled, must-have book., February 25, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: American Indian Artifacts: How to Identify, Evaluate and Care for Your Collection (Paperback)
For the past 22 years, author Ellen Woods has been fascinated with American Indian artifacts, and luckily for us, she has shared her knowledge in this outstanding book. Subtitled "How to Identify, Evaluate and Care for Your Collection," this readable reference describes in detail the history, techniques, and types of baskets, pottery, beadwork, wood/hide, jewelry, and stone/bone used by American Indians. And, Ms. Woods includes information for those interested in pursuing their studies through museums, state parks, periodicals, videos, shows and promoters, and other reading material. Within these 220 pages are gems for all levels of collectors. A must-have book
