The archaeological focus on a single geographical area offers an
opportunity to present projectile point typology as a
microtechnology even though some of the types have widespread
distributions. The area of the Middle Potomac River Valley presents
a physical artefact collection for a view of prehistory. This
volume, which includes several hundred images of the investigation,
artefacts and archaeological research compiled and recorded from
over 30 years of work in the area, includes: -an overview of the
Middle Potomac River Valley archaeology including the peoples and
sites; -new data and interpretations for the lithic technology of
the area; and -classification and typology of artefacts including
the usage of projectile point, axe, celt, drill, and knife
implements. This work will be of great interest to prehistory
archaeologists, especially those working in the Middle Atlantic
region of the United States.
This book is a report on 50+ years of collecting paleopoint data in
Virginia. It contains drawings, rubbings, and photographs of 1055
Paleoindian projectile points. All point data is listed which can
be obtained on a CD from the McCary Fluted Point Survey of
Virginia. The Survey publishes an annual point update which is
available from the Survey. The author can be contacted at:

This archaeological publication covers the development, definition,
classification, and world-wide deployment of the lithic bipoint and
includes numerous photographs, drawings, and maps. Lithic bipoint
technology originated 75,000 years ago, and it continued to the
discovery of metal for tools. It was brought into the U.S. on both
coasts; the Pacific Coast introduction was around 17,000 years ago
and the Atlantic Coast was 23,000 years ago. This book presents and
discusses bipoints from nearly every U.S. state. Bipoint function,
usage, and resharpening are also presented. The book is indexed and
has extensive references.
