This Second Edition of "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest" is an expansion and enhancement of the first edition, which was published in 2010. This book is the culmination of a long-time desire to find specific and detailed information which can be used to help myself and other arrowhead collectors in the northern California, northern Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Utah and Idaho areas identify the many finely made ancient and authentic types of stone arrowheads which we have found in the Pacific Northwest. It gathers descriptive information and combines this with photographs of examples of the various point types, all to help the casual collector and the serious hobbyist to understand stone projectile points which he or she sees and finds. Thus it is an arrowhead collector's guide to type identification of the stone projectile points of the Pacific Northwest. This Second Edition adds many more examples and additional types of projectile points ... arrowheads, dart points, lance points and others. Plus, I have re-worked the graphic presentation of the artifacts to make everything easier to read. The first edition was 144 pages; this Second Edition is 217 pages, full color. "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest / SECOND EDITION."

Whatcha Got There? I have enjoyed finding arrowheads and other artifacts over the years. Yet, I always wondered if there was an effective way to identify the types of points which I found? Beyond guessing? After much reading, studying, contemplating and analyzing the information which is available about dart and arrow point identification, and studying the descriptions of many different types, I put together a short list of questions which enables me to compile a description of a projectile point. From this description, I can focus the answers to narrow down the type classification possibilities for any particular stone projectile point from this wonderful region. "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest" uses this series of questions and answers to illustrate clearly the identification process for several dozen projectile points in my collection. You can use the same process to identify most of the points you find in the Pacific Northwest. This is how "Stone Projectile Points Of The Pacific Northwest" is An Arrowhead Collector's Guide To Type Identification. Now you can know. This Third Edition, in 2021 A.D., has been expanded, with improved photographic presentations of the artifacts, and several additional types and examples for reference. Full color. 242 pages.

Noel Justice adds another regional guide to his series of important reference works that survey, describe, and categorize the projectile point and cutting tools used in prehistory by Native American peoples. This volume addresses the region of California and the Great Basin. Written for archaeologists and amateur collectors alike, the book describes over 50 types of stone arrowhead and spear points according to period, culture, and region. With the knowledge of someone trained to fashion projectile points with techniques used by the Indians, Justice describes how the points were made, used, and re-sharpened. His detailed drawings illustrate the way the Indians shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can best be identified. There are hundreds of drawings, organized by type cluster and other identifying characteristics. The book also includes distribution maps and color plates that will further aid the researcher or collector in identifying specific periods, cultures, and projectile types.

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.

Secwépemc People, Land, and Laws is a journey through the 10,000-year history of the Interior Plateau nation in British Columbia. Told through the lens of past and present Indigenous storytellers, this volume detail how a homeland has shaped Secwépemc existence while the Secwépemc have in turn shaped their homeland. Marianne Ignace and Ronald Ignace, with contributions from ethnobotanist Nancy Turner, archaeologist Mike Rousseau, and geographer Ken Favrholdt, compellingly weave together Secwépemc narratives about ancestors’ deeds. They demonstrate how these stories are the manifestation of Indigenous laws (stsq'ey') for social and moral conduct among humans and all sentient beings on the land, and for social and political relations within the nation and with outsiders. Breathing new life into stories about past transformations, the authors place these narratives in dialogue with written historical sources and knowledge from archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, earth science, and ethnobiology. In addition to a wealth of detail about Secwépemc land stewardship, the social and political order, and spiritual concepts and relations embedded in the Indigenous language, the book shows how between the mid-1800s and 1920s the Secwépemc people resisted devastating oppression and the theft of their land, and fought to retain political autonomy while tenaciously maintaining a connection with their homeland, ancestors, and laws. An exemplary work in collaboration, Secwépemc People, Land, and Laws points to the ways in which Indigenous laws and traditions can guide present and future social and political process among the Secwépemc and with settler society.
