Arrow Points of Texas and Its Borderlands by William E Moore
State and federal entities of the relatively new United States may have set borders—but archaeological history does not. Arrow Points of Texas and Its Borderlands illuminates surviving archaeological material in the form of Native American arrow points commonly found in Texas and the surrounding regions. After a fourteen-year gap without an updated field book, professional archaeologist and cultural resources consultant William E. Moore has assembled the latest research on typology and distribution to produce this handy guide.Incorporating points found not only in Texas but also in the nearby areas of Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and northern Mexico, this book provides, in the words of the foreword by noted lithic specialist John E. Dockall, “a much-needed synthesis of regional and chronological data that will be useful to professional and avocational archaeologists alike.” Indeed, by taking such an approach, Moore helps to alleviate some of the persistent confusion arising from arbitrary boundaries and resulting provincial perspectives.
Including helpful references, a field guide, and distribution maps in addition to detailed illustrations, the book pulls together in a single, easy-to-use volume much information that was previously diffused among an array of archives and “gray literature” reports. Arrow Points of Texas and Its Borderlands will find a welcome place on the bookshelves of professional and avocational archaeologists and collectors throughout the Southwest.
