Identification Guide for all Arrow Points or arrowheads.
The American Southwest is the focus for this volume in Noel Justice's series of reference works that survey, describe, and categorize the projectile point and cutting tools used in prehistory by Native American peoples. Written for archaeologists and amateur collectors alike, the book describes over 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 re-sharpened. His detailed drawings illustrate the way the Indians shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can best be 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.
A four-volume set, first published between 1958 and 1971, providing the descriptions, dating and geographic distribution of 200 dart and arrow point types, ranging in age from the earliest Paleoindian Clovis points to Historic period metal arrow points.

Whatcha Got There? I have enjoyed finding arrowheads and other artifacts over the years. Yet, I always wondered if there was an effective way to identify the types of points which I found? Beyond guessing? After much reading, studying, contemplating and analyzing the information which is available about dart and arrow point identification, and studying the descriptions of many different types, I put together a short list of questions which enables me to compile a description of a projectile point. From this description, I can focus the answers to narrow down the type classification possibilities for any particular stone projectile point from this wonderful region. "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest" uses this series of questions and answers to illustrate clearly the identification process for several dozen projectile points in my collection. You can use the same process to identify most of the points you find in the Pacific Northwest. This is how "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest" is An Arrowhead Collector's Guide To Type Identification. Now you can know. This Third Edition, in 2021 A.D., has been expanded, with improved photographic presentations of the artifacts, and several additional types and examples for reference. Full color. 242 pages.

This useful guide provides a key to identifying the various styles of points found along the Upper Mississippi River in the Driftless region stretching roughly from Dubuque, Iowa, to Red Wing, Minnesota, but framed within a somewhat larger area extending from the Rock Island Rapids at the modern Moline -- Rock Island area to the Falls of St. Anthony at Minneapolis -- St. Paul. In addition to drawings of each style, Robert Boszhardt provides other accepted names as well as names of related points, age, distribution, a description (including length and width), material, and references for each type.
