More Arrowhead Spam From Aaron

Sorry everyone,

In my quest to get all these GB projectile point typologies described in my thesis, I've been looking at all the sources I can get my hands on. For the most part they are consistent (I have a pretty good discussion of that in my thesis) and I have found some great resources.

A few months ago, I posted that online projectile point reference guide. I've found another. Idaho State University, in conjunction with the Idaho Museum of Natural History has an exceptional online reference called Digital Atlas of Idaho.

The archaeology section is very comprehensive for the northern portion of the GB. Like all websites, there are some problems. Many sections are still under construction, and probably have been that way for several years. I was, however, impressed with their projectile point index. There are some great photos with brief discussions on chronology and geographic distributions (just click on the link "projectile points").

If you need a quick online reference for GB projectile points, this is probably as good as any on the web. At least until someone finds or makes a better one.

It's always nice to see the on line classifications. Thanks for finding this one.
