Sommario/riassunto

Useful for academic and recreational archaeologists alike, this book identifies and describes over 200 projectile points and stone tools used by prehistoric Native American Indians in Texas. This third edition boasts twice as many illustrations-all drawn from actual specimens-



and still includes charts, geographic distribution maps and reliable age-dating information.
