Editorial Reviews

Review

Not only collectors but archaeologists will want to have this basic reference on hand: it outlines all kinds of Native American artifacts and pairs excellent color photos of lanceolates, paleo tools, and uniface blades with discussions of values and descriptions of features. A very specific, outstanding guide for any who would collect or categorize paleo-Indian artifacts. -Midwest Book Review

Product Description

Lar Hothem, author of the bestselling series, Indian Artifacts of the Midwest, and several other books on arrowheads, pipes, and trade relics, is widely known for his research in the field of Indian artifacts. His latest book, complete with more than 2,200 color photographs, features the highly valuable chipped points and blades, plus many of the sometimes overlooked minor tool types. All of the basic Paleo artifacts and classes are shown and described, and interesting facts about ancient Paleo lifeways, supported by archaeology, are provided. Sections on discoveries and auction results will be of interest to the reader. Current values for Paleo artifacts of all types are given, and a large number of top-grade Paleo points, some never before published, are pictured. There are chapters of Paleo knives and non-point tools of all kinds, and tips on collecting these artifacts. This book contains the most Paleo artifacts pictured in any publication to date, including some of the more valuable fluted and lanceolate points in North America from some of the finest private collections. Paleo-Indian Artifacts offers a glimpse into an ancient world as revealed by the tools and weapons. 2008 values.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Paleo Reference, April 27, 2005
This review is from: Paleo-Indian Artifacts (Hardcover)
A very good reference guide for Paleo items. This is an area that needed attention. The author, Mr. Hothem, admits that most of the artifacts featured are East of the Rockies. This was very disapointing for those of us out West, as we too have numerous Paleo sites and artifacts. I still enjoyed the read, which featured excellent photographs. I also believe that there could have been more details in the introduction sections of each area of study. Overall, I would highly recommend this text to all artifact collectors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paleo artifacts, July 27, 2005
This review is from: Paleo-Indian Artifacts (Hardcover)
Covers all classifications of Paleo, transitional paleo and related tools. Not enough western stuff for me. Hundreds of great pics, I have not counted, maybe a thousand. More clovis than you can shake a stick at. Very very few obvious fakes.
Well worth the little bit of money. Gives history when available, CoA's issused, auction prices when applicable. Best book out there for Paleo.
