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.
