Archaeological Remains in The Whitewater District Eastern Arizona - #B-5
Published in 1939 by the Smithsonian. This is a fantastic book packed with wonderful pictures, and great information. Someone could chop out the plates, and put the wonderful art in frames. I didn't have the heart to do it. Tons of great black/white pottery, in-situ associations, axes, arrowheads.... Not sure how rare it is, but it has to be a good one. Only the cover shows a little staining.
Price: $25

Published 1967. Plenty of great info on the European Solutrean Culture. Very interesting in light of current theories about North American Paleo Culture descending from Solutrean. Rare title also.
