State and federal entities of the relatively new United States may have set borders, but archaeological history does not. William Moore's book Arrow Points of Texas and Its Borderlands illuminates surviving archaeological material in the form of Native American arrow points commonly found in Texas and the surrounding regions. He has assembled the latest research on typology and distribution to produce this guide. Incorporating points found not only in Texas but also in the nearby areas of Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and northern Mexico, this book provides, in the words of the foreword by noted lithic specialist John E. Dockall, "a much-needed synthesis of regional and chronological data that will be useful to professional and avocational archaeologists alike."
For our Westerners meeting, he will introduce artifact typology, explain the format of the book, clarify the difference between it and previous books on the topic, and provide specific examples.
