Title: Stone Age Spear and Arrow Points of the Southwestern United States:
Description: "The American Southwest is the focus for this new volume in Noel Justice's series of reference works that survey, describe, and categorize the projectile points and cutting tools used in prehistory by Early American peoples. Written for archaeologists and amateur collectors alike, the book describes more than 50 types of stone arrowhead and spear points according to period, culture, and region.

With the knowledge of someone trained to fashion projectile points with techniques used by the Indians, Justice describes how the points were made, used, and resharpened. His detailed drawings illustrate the way the Indians shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can be best identified. There are hundreds of drawings, organized by type cluster and other identifying characteristics.

The book also includes distribution maps and color plates that will further aid the researcher or collector in identifying specific periods, cultures, and projectile types."--BOOK JACKET.
