Summary: "The Stone Age in North America, Vol. 1 of 2" by Warren K. Moorehead is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an archaeological encyclopedia detailing the tools, ornaments, and weapons used by prehistoric tribes of North America. Moorehead's extensive research over the last 25 years aims to provide a comprehensive classification of prehistoric artifacts, emphasizing their cultural significance and contextual understanding of ancient life. The opening of the publication introduces the author's purpose and the context for his work. Moorehead explains that this book is a continuation of his previous efforts to classify ancient artifacts and acknowledges the complexity of this endeavor due to the diverse cultures involved and the ongoing discoveries of new materials. He highlights the importance of grounding archaeological study in the examination of actual artifacts, as opposed to relying solely on modern ethnological perspectives. The reader is informed that the book's structure is categorized not by geographical region but by artifact types, thus facilitating a focused study on the implements and their classifications across various Native American cultures.
