Review
This book, by noted Indian artifact authority Lar Hothem, presents a wide spectrum of arrowheads and projectile points, some worth $5.00, some worth hundreds. But the points presented are those the collector is likely to encounter, not the rare, hard-to-find museum pieces that most people never see. Descriptions, lengths, areas found, and current values are given for all items pictured. -Phillip Norris

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading to identify and know arrowheads.,
By Sergio Luiz de Almeida Rochelle (Piracicaba, São Paulo - BRAZIL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arrowheads And Projectile Points (Identification & Values (Collector Books)) (Paperback)
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 care with them. Indispensable to begginers and advanced collectors this book certainly attempt the amateur archaeologist's expectation.

Good overall, although only basic pictures, simple text but get the point across. THis book is really the same for over a decade now, but has updated realistic prices. Lar did great and his son has done well since his passing. Good value price too.
