Subject: MAS Special Publication #8

The long awaited MAS Special Publication #8, Ozark's Chipped Stone Resources: A
Guide to the Identification, Distribution, and Prehistoric Use of Cherts and
Other Siliceous Raw Materials, by Jack H. Ray, is here!

This book is a product of more than 25 years of research on the various raw
materials in the Ozarks that prehistoric Native Americans used to make
chipped-stone tools. The purpose of the book is to provide a reference source or
guide to the bewildering array of chipped-stone (knappable) resources available
in the Ozarks. Divided into two parts, the book also has three appendices,
including one with 28 color illustrations of the major types and varieties of
cherts and other lithic resources that were used in prehistory. Another appendix
is a glossary, containing definitions of geological and archaeological terms.

The normal purchase price for this publication is $45, but it is being offered
to MAS members for $35. The usual 10% MAS discount does not apply. To purchase
this new publication, please contact the MAS office:
