Red cloth. Oblong quarto. 111pp. Pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated. The Fenn cache is a remarkable collection of 56 projectile points, tools and preforms that were made by Americans at a time when their primary food source was the mammoth. The authors, two of America's most notable paleoarchaeologists, have spent many years excavating the sites where these ancient Clovis people killed and butchered their prey. This book takes you back to look at those people and those times, when flintnapping and hunting skills were the real tools of survival, and pride of workmanship was their trademark. A very good copy with minor wear. The text is very good and clean. The jacket is good with some creasing to the left side of the front panel, some wear to the spine and some soiling to the rear panel.

This book presents the Fenn Cache, a remarkable assemblage of Clovis projectile points and tools originating in present day Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah. The cache includes masterfully worked bifaces in virtually every stage of manufacture in obsidian, chert, jasper, quartz, and agate. This collection exemplifies the amazing skill, craftsmanship, and complex thought that went into the production of these stone points and knives. Illustrated with Pete Bostrom's beautiful, three-view color photographs of each artifact, as well as detailed line drawings by Sarah Moore and imaginative illustrations of Clovis people and activities by Glen Strock, The Fenn Cache will appeal to general readers and engage a younger audience in archaeology and the history of ancient Americans.
