"This is an important new reference work for the professional archaeologist as well as the student and collector." --Central States Archaeological Journal "Justice... admirably synthesizes the scientific information integrating it with the popular approach.

Mr. Justice describes over 120 separate types of stone arrowheads and spear points according to period, culture, and region. His detailed drawings show how Native Americans shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can best be identified. There are over 485 drawings organized by type cluster and other identifying characteristics. The work also includes distribution maps and 111 examples in color.
