Arrowheads & Stone Artifacts: A Practical Guide for the Amateur Archaeologist

Rating:
Summary: Personal review
Review: A good book, however contains a lot of personal family photos and scenes of camp sites of nil interest or information to anyone but the authors family. Also has a fair amount of pottery information, a strange choice for a book on stone artifacts and arrowheads. Good but not fantastic.

Rating:
Summary: Informative book by an obvious master of the subject
Review: A valuable book, especially for beginning collectors like myself. Well written in a conversational style that welcomes the reader in. It's worth noting that, due to the author's own experience and background, the book focuses primarily upon artifact collecting in the Western U.S. and is therefore of maximum benefit for readers from that region.

Summary: Continues to be the finest introduction to the subject
Review: Now in an updated and expanded second edition, C.G. Yeager's Arrowheads & Stone Artifacts: A Practical Guide For The Amateur Archaeologist continues to be the finest introduction to the subject available for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Native American antiquarian artifacts and archaeological sites. Yeager offers practical advice on where to look for artifacts, how to identify artifacts, where surface collecting is permissible, as well as how to start and care for a personal collection. Arrowheads & Stone Artifacts is a superbly written and presented introduction that is highly recommended for personal, school, and community library popular archaeology and Native American studies reference collections.
