<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The archaeological focus on a single geographical area offers an opportunity to present projectile point typology as a microtechnology even though some of the types have widespread distributions. The area of the Middle Potomac River Valley presents a physical artefact collection for a view of prehistory. <br>This volume, which includes several hundred images of the investigation, artefacts and archaeological research compiled and recorded from over 30 years of work in the area, includes: <br>-an overview of the Middle Potomac River Valley archaeology including the peoples and sites; <br>-new data and interpretations for the lithic technology of the area; and <br>-classification and typology of artefacts including the usage of projectile point, axe, celt, drill, and knife implements. <br>This work will be of great interest to prehistory archaeologists, especially those working in the Middle Atlantic region of the United States.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"From projectile points to grinders, Mr. Hranicky has produced a systematic, highly detailed, intensely illustrated, and apparently exhaustive handbook on the stone tools in his district." <br><em>(Antiquity, 76 (2002)</em><br>
