Book Reviews of Ancient Indian Artifacts: Introduction to Collecting (Ancient Indian Artifacts)
Book Review: High Quality information!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This new book is an overview of collecting ancient artifacts that will help novice and seasoned collectors alike understand their avocation. The thousands of artifacts, ranging from "field grade" to "museum quality", are all authentic and portrayed well with the excellent photography.
Bennett begins with American prehistory and the timelines of archaeology then describes in detail the classes of artifacts encountered. Subsequent chapters define artifact grading and values, then how to build a collection. Reproductions are defined but as this book is only the first in a series of six, more details will come in future books. One of the best features in Volume 1 is the inclusion of Rowe's Glossary of Artifact Terms, a valuable resource for students of archaeology and hobbyists alike.
Ancient Indian Artifacts Volume 1 Introduction to Collecting is sure to become a classic reference for all collectors of prehistoric relics. This is a first-class publication with unequalled information and photography that should be a part of all collection libraries.
