The approximately 2000 arrow points, picks, pieces of effigy pottery, and other artifacts of North American Indians photographed and described here were chosen for rareness in quantity,
construction, and/or use. Accompanying each photograph is a description of the item's form, source, and value in the collector's trade. Artifacts are arranged by the period they come from (from
Paleo to Historic), with special chapters devoted to items of indeterminate source, cache artifacts, and Mesoamerican finds. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
