The author describes over 50 of the most common, the most rare, and the most famous stone artifacts. These are some of the best examples known, most of which are from private collectors and have never before been seen in any book. You'll find the facts about several aspects of the North American Indian and prehistoric America. Geographic maps of the area are provided, as well as a current market appraisal section and directions on how to grade artifacts. REVIEW: In this book you will learn how to date artifacts, how they were made, how to detect modern pieces, and why the artifacts look the way they do. Geographic maps of the area are provided, as well as an easy-to-understand timeline of the Stone Age. -Phillip Norris
