Banner-Stones of the North American Indian

By Byron W. Knoblock

 

The penultimate reference book on bannerstones written by Byron W. Knoblock.  The originals of this book are highly prized and will set you back between $600.00 and $1,000.00 according to condition and binding edition.

Drawing on important archaeological excavations, such as Mill's work at Indian Knoll, this has become the de facto resource on the subject.  Used by professional archaeologists as well as amateurs, it provides a systematic categorization and detailed description of  the various types of these fascinating artifacts.
