A Guide to Projectile Points of Iowa, Part 2: Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, Woodland, and Late Prehistoric Points (Bur Oak Guide)
“A portable yet remarkably comprehensive means of identifying the type and age of projectile points most likely to be encountered in the state of Iowa, this guide will be useful for archaeologists looking for a portable field guide as well  as for those looking for an effective means of typing and dating points in collections. Each high-quality color photograph is accompanied by an up-to-date summary of the age of each point type. Coupled with the concise directions for describing projectile point forms, the guide provides an effective means of quickly identifying the type and age of points likely to be encountered throughout the state. The comprehensive visual record of points from Iowa contexts is unavailable in any other context. Coupled with descriptions of both the stone raw material and county of origin, it provides a unique and valuable documentation of this important facet of Iowa’s prehistory.”—Colin Betts, Luther College
