 Book review December 28, 2008
The Bone Lady (southern California)
A great reference for any archaeologist working the southwest. The book has good illustrations, good regional context, and is well written.

S. Evans (Santa Rosa, CA United States)
It's a great book for a great price. I am very pleased with it and reference it often. The book offers great projectile point typology and discussion, and offers a series of photos that are very helpful in the identification and classification of point types. Highly recommended, particulary for the price!

jib hunt (Northridge, CA)
Overall, this book would be a good resource for archaeologists that are interested in California and Great Basin projectile points as time markers. There are several detailed drawings and maps that summarize the distribution of each cluster of points. Each section also has some general info regarding the regions of interest. However, additional resources are needed for a more in depth overview of each regions archaeological history. I plan on using this book while working in the western Great Basin and southern California. This book was not written for people who have a casual interest in archaeology. It was written in order to give students of California and Great Basin prehistory a much needed addition to their library. All in all, this is a must have for grad students, researchers, and professors specializing is these regions.

An excellent guide for complete coverage of the many different types of projectile points found in this region. I have found this to be an invaluable field research reference in my work as a CRM archaeologist in this area of the Northwestern part of the Unites States.

This is a valuable reference material for anyone doing serious research on projectile points and cutting tools or for the collector/hobbyist.
The format is user friendly, the illustrations are excellent and the information is thorough.
This book is a great addition to any reference collection.
