Ozark Bluff-Dwellers
M.R. Harrington
Gustav's
Library Vintage Reprint
If you're interested in the
archaeology of rockshelters of the Ozarks, you won't find a better fit than this
book by M.R. Harrington. As with some other rock shelter and cave sites, a
wealth of artifacts made from perishable materials such as wood and cane were
found. Some of the more unique are a wooden atlatl and hafted implements
including a celt, axe and shell hoe.
This 6" x 8-1/2", soft cover, facsimile reprint
has 183 text pages with
16 in-text figures and 47 full page plates of engravings and photographs. $18.95
