Excerpt from The Weathering of Aboriginal Stone Artifacts, Vol. 1: A Consideration of the Paleoliths of Kansas, Illustrated by 20 Figures and 19 Half-Tone Plates
No one, reading American literature devoted to stone artifacts, can fail to notice the paucity of de scriptions and discussions made from the geologist's point of view; that too when the nature of the speci mens and their environments were more or less geo logical, and when a careful examination by a compe tent geological observer would have added materially to their significance and to their value. The archeolo gists of America have usually not been equipped with geological training. They have gathered, with great assiduity a vast number and variety of aboriginal im plements, and have assigned them in many cases to their supposed uses. They have filled their cases with beautiful specimens, and have dazzled the visi tor with skillful arrangements from shelf to shelf. They have had little concern for the question of the relative ages of these specimens, and usually they have considered all their collections from American localities as the product of the historic Indian. More recently, as the question of Paleolithic man in America has been revived, while discerning the need of geologi cal investigation, they have still been content to sub mit the inquiry to archeologists who made no pretense of geological skill, or to geologists who, with super ficial and insufficient investigation, were satisfied to corroborate the views of their archeological associates.
