Summary:

"Guide to Palaeolithic Artifacts and Features of the Americas is the go-to reference for stone, bone, antler, ivory, and wooden artifacts of the Palaeolithic era in the Americas. Written by Ricard Michael Gramly, an expert in the field, this book canvases a century of archaeological literature and scholarship and includes over 150 images to clearly and efficiently classify the artifacts discussed. Each artifact includes all the terms and synonyms by which it is classified, a visual depiction of the artifact, and the time period in which the artifact occurred in. Combining both Old and New World technologies, typologies and practices, this book is a must-have compilation for professional and amateur archaeologists, collectors of Palaeolithic artifacts, and the casual reader interested in the history of the Americas."-- Publisher website.

Notes:

"The success of early versions of a comprehensive guide to the oldest artifacts in North America, which appeared as (1) Guide to the Palaeo-Indian artifacts of North America (1990), (2) Guide to the Palaeo-Indian artifacts of North America (1993, expanded edition), and (3) Guide to the Palaeo-American artifacts of North America (2000), together with advancements in knowledge about earliest cultures and industries in the Americas since the beginning of the millennium, have inspired this new, broadly framed, work. Although this monograph is structured similarly to early versions and features some of the same illustrations, it should be regarded as a totally new work."--Preface, page xi.

"Nearly all the illustrations that are reproduced within this Guide were executed by Valerie Waldorf and (later) by Steve Wallmann."--Acknowledgments, page ix.
