Description

The Native American tribes of what’s now the southeastern United States left intriguing relics of their ancient cultural life. Arrowheads, spear points, stone tools, and other artifacts are found in newly plowed fields, on hillsides after a fresh rain, or in washed-out creek beds. These are tangible clues to the anthropology of the Paleo-Indians, and the highly developed Mississippian peoples.

This indispensable guide to identifying and understanding such finds is for conscientious amateur archeologists who make their discoveries in surface terrain. Many are eager to take into account the culture that produced the artifact, what sort of people created it, the way it used to be made, how old it’s, and what its purpose used to be.

Here is a handbook that seeks identification through the clues of cultural history. In discussing materials used, the process of manufacture, and the relationship between the artifacts and the environments, it reveals ancient discoveries to be not merely interesting trinkets but by-products from the once necessary societies in areas that at the moment are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, the Carolinas, in addition to in southeastern Texas, southern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana.

The text is documented by more than a hundred drawings in the true size of the artifacts, in addition to by a glossary of archeological terms and a helpful list of state and regional archeological societies.
