Description

Cited in virtually each colonial-era site study of North The us, A Guide to Artifacts of Colonial America holds a place of honor among historical archaeologists. This can be a classic, highly sought-after handbook for the professional archaeologist, museum curator, antiques dealer, collector, or social historian. Though first published more than thirty years ago, Ivor Noel Hume’s guide continues to be the most useful and accurate reference on the identification of artifacts recovered from Anglo-American colonial sites.

This edition comprises a new preface, up to date references, and corrections based on latest scholarship, along with the original 102 photographs and line drawings. With a list of forty-three categories, including buttons, cutlery, stoneware, and firearms, collectors and curators of early American artifacts will find this book insightful, informative, and indispensable.

An acclaimed archaeologist and historian, Noël Hume understands the interests of both professionals and enthusiasts. He manages to combine out-of-the-odd information with a full of life presentation. His extensive knowledge and experience make this richly detailed text keep up a correspondence something beyond the facts—the reality of other times, places, and cultures.
