"North American Stone Implements" by Charles Rau is a scientific publication reprinted from the Report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1872, reflecting the archaeological interests of the early 1870s. This book examines the various types of stone implements used by the indigenous peoples of North America, delving into the similarities and differences they share with European stone tools from different prehistoric periods. The likely topic of the book revolves around categorizing North American stone tools and discussing their historical significance in relation to extinct animals and archaeological findings. In this detailed study, Rau presents numerous discoveries, notably the findings of Dr. Albert C. Koch in Missouri, where stone arrowheads and axes were found alongside the remains of a Mastodon and other extinct species. Rau discusses the implications of these finds, suggesting that the human inhabitants of North America may have coexisted with these now-extinct animals and possessed advanced stone tool-making skills. He categorizes various types of flint implements, including leaf-shaped tools and scrapers, discussing their probable uses in hunting, food preparation, and crafting. Through analysis of these artifacts, Rau contributes to the understanding of early North American cultures while acknowledging the challenges in correlating these tools with specific historical periods due to the mixed contexts in which they have been found.
