Native American Arrowheads: Shire Library

Autor Alexander Przygoda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2034
Native American Arrowheads evoke imagery of the West, wild and untamed, where the Native Americans were challenged every day by the rigors of the landscape. Through their projectile points, we can trace back 12,000 years worth of technological advancement in the Americas, and the stories that these tools can tell about the way the earliest Americans lived. Starting with the earliest precursors to the Bow and Arrow, simple lance and Atl-Atl points, and their related tools - knives, we can follow from the Paleo Clovis hunters chasing mammoth, to their settling down and expanding their regional knowledge of the continent in the Archaic, to the bloom of agriculture and more sedentary lifeways in the Woodland period. Last but certainly not least, the description of the first true 'Arrowheads' emerging around 1,500 years ago in the Early Mississippian period. The materials, individual types, and infinite variations on a theme are distilled down for the reader in a way that allows them to readily understand the Early Native American's motives behind each new iteration of a point or blade. This book will aid the newcomer and seasoned collector alike further their understanding and appreciation for these remnants of lost American civilizations.

Notă biografică

Alexander C. Przygoda has spent the last 15 years examining artifacts from around the globe, with a focus on prehistoric North American flint and stone tools. To date he has examined or handled over 500,000 artifacts through his work in the prehistoric antiquities market. He has studied Anthropology and Geology at institutions across the U.S. with an interest in applying technology and knowledge gained from those experiences to the more abstract concept of artifact authentication. Having found his first arrowhead at the age of 12, he developed an appreciation for the first Americans. In addition he has published articles and provided lectures on topics in authentication. He currently resides in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, USA.
