About This Book
The work presents a systematic survey and illustrated catalogue of prehistoric stone implements and ornaments from a large museum collection, emphasizing classification, materials, and geographic distribution across the Mississippi valley. Implements are divided into chipped and pecked/ground types, with attention to raw materials, manufacture, hafting, and wear. Detailed descriptions and plates document grooved axes, celts, adzes, gouges, chisels, scrapers, pestles, mortars, pipes, gorgets and decorative forms, with notes on function, regional variation, and identification challenges caused by weathering and similar forms.
