Arrowpoints, Spearheads, and Knives of Prehistoric Times

By Thomas Wilson, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Kenneth Barnett Tankersley

A thorough history of the weapons and tools our prehistoric ancestors used to survive, this book reveals a world that will fascinate anyone interested in outdoor skills, ancient weapons, or anthropology. Thomas Wilson explains the many types of arrowheads, spears, and knives used by the peoples of the Paleolithic period across Western Europe and the early days of America. He details the materials from which these tools were made, how and where they were manufactured, and the purposes for which they were craftedfrom hunting and cutting to scraping and grinding. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of drawings of these tools, including microscopic details of the flint and other stones from which they were crafted, this is a rare look into what seems like mankind's not-so-distant past.

Thomas Wilson

Since publishing my first two novels I have discovered that I enjoy writing books much more than I love reading them. I probably should have been an Engineer but life got in the way. I love that all of my crazy ideas that I come up with can be brought to life through the books that I write. I Love to write books and read others books. I am a God fearing, family man with a 8 - 5 day job. I enjoy riding my motorcycle, and building models, along with spending as much time as possible raising my children with my wonderful wife. I have written and E-Published two novels so far. "Whisper" in January of 2011. "No Rules Of Engagement" in September 2011. Look for "Leviathan Deterrent" Summer of 2012. Currently writing the sequels to both books! Aspiring authors or people who love History please follow my Blog at Thomaswilsonstoryteller dot blogspot dot com.
