Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians

by Ellen Sue Turner, Thomas R. Hester, Richard L. McReynolds (Illustrator)

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. The authors also demonstrate how factors such as environment, locale and type of artifact combine to produce a portrait of these ancient cultures.

Good resource

I'm not an archeologist but I found the book very helpful in identifying my darts, arrow points, scrapers, etc. with great illustrations.

I volunteer with an Archaelogy Association in Texas and this book is like a textbook for anyone who wants to learn about and accurately catalogue stone artifacts. The illustrations are clear.

An excellent reference volume! Although some language can be slightly dated, it is a fantastic and encyclopedic source with beautifully detailed illustrations.
