Wonderful!

This is the best textbook I've ever had to read! Shipping was fast and product was in excellent condition, love it!

They are probably not arrowheads.

After fining an arrowhead in Colorado I was curious as to its provinence. In this book I learned that what we call arrowheads are projectile points, and too heavy for a bow, even though they seem small. And it may well be over 1,000 years old. This is a wonderful tour through Native American sites and the past.
