Product Description
Projectile points of American Indians have long been objects of interest to students and historians. This book has hundreds of photos, information about geographic origin, methods of production, sizes, and a special section on detecting fakes. 2002 values. AUTHORBIO: Lar Hothem is a well-known expert in the field of Indian arrowheads and artifacts. His popular series, Indian Artifacts of the Midwest series has now added its fifth volume. His other titles include Indian Axes & Related Stone Artifacts, Indian Pipes, Arrowheads & Projectile Points, and Indian Trade Relics. REVIEW: This book, by noted Indian artifact authority Lar Hothem, presents a wide spectrum of arrowheads and projectile points, some worth $5.00, some worth hundreds. But the points presented are those the collector is likely to encounter, not the rare, hard-to-find museum pieces that most people never see. Descriptions, lengths, areas found, and current values are given for all items pictured.

 good overall, good for midwest January 2, 2008
Good overall, although only basic pictures, simple text but get the point across. THis book is really the same for over a decade now, but has updated realistic prices. Lar did great and his son has done well since his passing. Good value price too.
Good value for the price June 27, 2007
Mr. Hothem puts together a book that is easy reading but I wish it had a section which showed exactly what characteristics designates certain points from each other (with a diagram). Otherwise, I found the book to be a nice companion book to other arrowhead books I have.
 Essential reading to identify and know arrowheads. September 12, 2000

This 223 page's book is an excellent introduction to the world of prehistoric amerindian projectile points and arrowheads. In some very nice photos and inscriptions you could find the "keys" to what you collect, their relative prices, regional classification and chipping techniques. A simple and practical relation describes the U.S. materials used to make arrowheads and blades including all the regional types, edges, shapes, individual characteristics of each piece and instructions to take care with them. Indispensable to begginers and advanced collectors this book certainly attempt the amateur archaeologist's expectation.
