An Introductory Handbook of Texas Archeology

Dee Ann Suhm and Alex D. Krieger

Gustav's Library Vintage Reprint

Undoubtedly the best state specific archaeological book we’ve found so far. The first half of the book contains the descriptions of sites and cultures and the second half is devoted to pottery and point typology with pictures of thousands of artifacts. Truly a comprehensive and detailed work, the originals are quite scarce and sell for $500.00 to $600.00 … if you can find one.

Please take a look at the Table of Contents (below) to see the level of detail contained in this fine publication.

This 7-1/2" x 10-1/2", 582 page, soft cover, facsimile reprint is illustrated with 134 plates and descriptions. $29.95
