What great news. One of the very best typology guides to the Northeast, is, at long, long last, available again. Below I have copied in its entirety the good news as I just received it from the guide's editor, Bill Moody:
Friends,
I have some good news! The last edition of the outstanding typology book produced by Jeff Boudreau is once again available for purchase through the Massachusetts Archaeological Society. (See attached photos.) As many of you know, this remarkable book was the culmination of Jeff’s life’s work on the subject. It is an unparalleled reference work for our region and deserves a place in everyone’s library.
The book is full color, 8 ½ X11” spiral bound, 176 pages. All artifacts are shown actual size, covering everything from Paleo fluted points to Woodland and Contact Period projectiles. There is also a section on identifying New England lithics, as well as some very informative essays.
At this time, the best way to order the book is by calling the Robbins Museum (MAS headquarters) directly during museum hours (Saturday 10:00-2:00 and Wednesday, 10:00-4:00) at 508-947-9005. Their website has been experiencing some problems, so it may be a short while before orders can be placed online.
Please let anyone know who might be interested—and don’t miss out on the opportunity to acquire a copy!
Bill
