5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, encyclopaedic, good reference manual, April 1, 2002
By 
Andrew Floyd (Rochester, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide, 7th Edition (Official Overstreet Indian Arrowhead Identification and Price Guide) (Paperback)
Purchased to study projectile points. I was not disapointed with the packed information and photos on this subject. Used as well, as a price guide for collectors, I none the less use it as a reference manual. It lists point artifacts from each part of the country broken down in groups of states. It then shows most of what is common for that area as far as shapes, sizes, etc. It is a good guide for the beginner to learn both projectile shapes and nomenclature. I carry it as a supplement to other books on archaeology and prehistoric American Native studies.............

4.0 out of 5 stars Wealth of Information, August 30, 2001
By 
Brent H. Williams (Huntington, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide, 7th Edition (Official Overstreet Indian Arrowhead Identification and Price Guide) (Paperback)
This series of guides is a valuable tool when identifying most of the stone projectile points made by Native Americans all over the United States. I first accquired the 3rd. edition and have since worn it out. Not only does the book identify the points, the color pictures are fantastic, and the many types of flint, chert and other lithic materials are covered. This book contains a wealth of information.
