Book Description
The Professional Standard for America’s Oldest Collectible
Indian arrowheads may well be the earliest evidence of man’s ability to create, style, and manufacture objects of symmetry and beauty. As Robert Overstreet, bestselling author and trained typologist, reminds us, “they represent a unique art form crafted by the world’s earliest artist. Unique because, like snowflakes, each specimen is an original and no two are exactly alike.”

Filled with life-size photographs, collecting points has never been easier: simply hold up your find to the photos and discover its date and value!

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide, 7th Edition (Official Overstreet Indian Arrowhead Identification and Price Guide) (Paperback)
Purchased to study projectile points. I was not disapointed with the packed information and photos on this subject. Used as well, as a price guide for collectors, I none the less use it as a reference manual. It lists point artifacts from each part of the country broken down in groups of states. It then shows most of what is common for that area as far as shapes, sizes, etc. It is a good guide for the beginner to learn both projectile shapes and nomenclature. I carry it as a supplement to other books on archaeology and prehistoric American Native studies.............
