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.
Material Culture from Prehistoric Virginia: Volume 1 is one volume
of a two-volume set. This two-volume set is available in black and
white and in color. Volume 1 contains artifact listings from A
through L. Volume 2 contains the remainder of the alphabetical
listings. These publications contain over 10,000 prehistoric
artifacts mainly from Virginia, but the publication covers the
eastern U. S. The set starts with Pre-Clovis and goes through
Woodland times with some Indian ethnography and rockart. Each
volume is indexed, contains references, has charts and graphs,
drawings, photographs, artifact dates, and artifact descriptions.
These volumes contain artifacts that have never appeared in the
archaeological literature. From beginners to experienced
archaeologists, they offer a complete library for the American
Indian culture and experience. If the prehistoric Indian made it,
an example is probably shown.
This publication was written to provide a source for archaeological
projectile point typology for a region of the U.S. that over the
years has been traditionally divided into: Northeast culture area
Middle Atlantic culture area Southeastern culture area These
divisions are based primarily on lithic technology and settlement
patterns. While this focus tends to serve archaeological
investigations, most of the prehistoric Indian
habitation/occupation requires greater definition and appraisal
from other sources within the archaeological community. Even among
artifact collectors, there is a tendency to parcel these areas into
the classic culture area concepts. This publication makes no
attempts to refocus archaeology, but to show the vast overlaps of
numerous point technologies. This is especially true over time; so
that, for lithic point technology in general, there is a Panindian
focus that can be applied to almost every tool type along the
Atlantic Coast. This publication provides most of the published
types from along the Atlantic seaboard. Each type has a basic
description and the illustration is an ideal point for that type. A
set of point references is provided; these make excellent (and
needed) sources for the study of projectile point studies.
