5 comments about The Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification And Price Guide, 6th Edition (Official Overstreet Indian Arrowhead Identification and Price Guide).

1. EASTERN SEABOARDS EXAMPLES ARE DOMINATED BY MUSEUM IN N.C. ALSO PG.211 HARDAWAY G7 $420-$575 THEN PG. 441 HARDAWAY G7$35-$-50 WHAT GIVES ? P.S. LOOKING TO PURCHASE A COPY OF OVERSTREETINDIAN ARROWHEADS THE FIRST EDITION.



2. This book, while a most comprehensive collection of projetile points, lacks the ethics necessary of such a volume. These artifacts are national treasures, not mere collectables. They represent a non-renewable resource. When a projectile point is taken out of context, it loses all meaning except for its reality of object. It means nothing to history. The collection of arrowheads, and further, the actual pricing of them, leads to the further erradication of informaiton of the past. Books of this sort should not be published, as they promote unethical collecting practices.



3. Great book! Many, many pictures from all regions including the NE. The best book I've found for a vast array of artifacts, many styles, examples etc. A great help for the novice collector! Many great ads for arrowhead sites on the web as well. Finally a visual guide to "see" actual pieces not just sketches!



4. Although there were many black and white photos there were no 'high quality' color photos. I found the section on my part of the country, the midwest, painfully lacking. I have yet to positively identify any of my twenty or so arrowheads using this book.



5. I have enjoyed my copy of this book, finding it particularly helpful in typing points, though not as much so in valuing. In response to the kind reader from Mass., all the point hunters I know, myself included, only hunt sites that are already culturally & historically ruined (i.e. plowed fields), with express permission of the private landowner. We don't go looking for burial mounds,etc. With regards to points being a non-renewable resource, true. BUT, I know of several fields that have been hunted for easily 100 years, and still produce points with each plowing. Many sites were in use as camp or village sites for literally thousands of years. I respectfully suggest that the kind reader turn attention more to construction sites and new road projects when looking for where true historical sites are being desecrated and ignored. Often, these sites are "overlooked" to avoid having projects put on extended (read here, expensive years) hold while the site is thoroughly researched. Happy Hunting!

1. This guide contains information on what artifacts are made of, how they were made as well as the types of places to look for them. It also offers valuable moral advice on site preservation and the laws pertaining to artifact collection.



2. June 19,1992 was surface finding in a plowed field in Wilmore Ky., found to my surprise found a 10 pound mint, polished axe. Was very excited... I have found 2000 pieces over the past 10 years. Just found a top to a water jug. Would enjoy any correspondence from other collector's. have many different types found in only 5 fields. cannot identify all of them...One is a triple fulton turkey tail arrowhead, notched at bottom. I also have a piece of drift wood with a large spear inside wood with a celt, and other piece unidentified.



3. I purchased this book after many other arrowhead/artifact book purchases, this book gave to me, personally, more information, it was simple to read and understandable. I was able to identify alot of items I had found on my property here in the mountains. I know he is in CO. but there were a good lot of items I could identify from here in OR. by the illustration and writing identification. I would like to thank Mr. Yeager for writing an easy to follow book on artifacts and such...I would also LOVE to see his collection sometime. :0)

1. "The Official Price Guide to American Indian Arrowheads" by John L. Stivers stands leagues apart from any would-be competitors before or since its publication. Other attempts at such a guide fail miserably in comparison to the quality and importance achieved in this work. In the study and identification of every type of stone tip, this complete reference guide to the widely popular sport of collecting artifacts from America's Stone Age leaves no stone unturned. Such a long awaited comprehensive guide to one of America's most fascinating pastimes is appropriate and invaluable fare for both the young and old alike, from absolute beginner to studied academic. With the use and aid of this book, anyone can follow their interest in American arrowheads as far as they choose or need to. A brief and fascinating introduction covers the history of the collection of American artifacts, guidelines for the amateur archaeologist, advice for the collector, and instructions on how to use the guide, complete with easy to understand point and blade charts that clearly illustrate the different styles that are a point or blade's identifying marks. A concise but thorough glossary defines the terms that are used in the impressive 531 page, 18 chapter catalogue of the most thorough and responsible representation of the wide range of types and quality of American arrowheads ever compiled. Hundreds of photographs of every type of American arrowhead found, and a fascinating array of other stone tools, provide for endless hours of fascinating perusal. The resources section offers a valuable reference for the hobbyist or academic alike looking to further their study or collection of stone tips and tools, with a listing of auctions and auctioneers, collectors included in the guide, shows and events where stone artifacts can be found, as well as pertinent organizations, periodicals, and sources of reproduction and restoration. This instructional and fully illustrated guide will make a fantastic and timeless gift to anyone that's held an arrowhead in their hand, or searched a creek bed or plowed field in the hopes of finding one of these American treasures. John L. Stivers' work, unlike any other existing attempts at similar guides, is a fascinating and invaluable guide that will be very much at home on the family bookshelf right next to the World Almanac, Encyclopedia Brittannica, and Webster's Dictionary.
