We have worked with the Texas Archeological
Society to make this classic volume available once again. As
an added bonus, Dee Ann Suhm Story and Edward B. Jelks have written
a new introduction to bring this important publication up to date.
An important note about the reprint layout of
this title: The original publication was a series of 3 hole
punched pages that were put into a binder so that it could be
updated periodically. As a result of this, the type
descriptions were on the front of the page and the accompanying
plates were on the reverse. In this 2009 reprint we have moved
the plates to face their descriptions which makes it much easier to
read.
This 8-1/4" x 10-1/2", 317 page, soft cover,

types. $29.95

Survey of Ohio Fluted Points |
|
Olaf H. Prufer -
1960-1964 |
|
All 10 volumes complete in one
book |
|
|
The fluted point
survey undertaken by Olaf H. Prufer of the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History was conducted between 1960 and
1964 with a total of 10 small volumes produced over that period.
Fluted points were made available for the survey from both museum
and private collections.
The introductions to
the volumes contain a wealth of information concerning fluting, raw
materials, glacial presence in Ohio, paleo encampments sites in
Ohio, etc.
Descriptive data for these points includes: Owner of specimen,
where, when and who found the specimen, raw material type and color,
length, width, thickness, number and length of fluting, basal
grinding, basal nipple presence, etc. There is also a sketch
for each point and each volume has a map of Ohio counties showing
the number of points from each county that were included in the
survey.
As many of these
originals haven't survived the past 50 years we were extremely fortunate
in acquiring a full set for republication. We are indebted,
again, to Larry Conrad of the Western Illinois University
Archaeological Research Laboratory for his help in obtaining a
complete set of the rare originals.
