Well, here you are! This is a list of links for history and primitive technology buffs like us. Now I'm not going to overwhelm you with hundreds of entries here. My intention is to keep this limited to just the best, can't miss, must see, cream of the crop. Well...'nuff said. Here we go!

Primitive Technology

Native Tech
Dedicated to the celebration and study of Native American technology and art.

Native American Pottery of the Eastern Forests
This is an excellent primer on the art of pottery as practiced by Eastern American Indians. Everything you need to know from selecting and preparing clay, to decorating and primitive firing techniques.

American Indian Ethnobotany Database
Here is a very valuable and interesting tool. It's a searchable database that takes any word you submit and looks for references to it in this extensive list of plants and herbs used by the American Indian. Try submitting "willow" or "sinew" to get an idea of how it works and then have fun!

Native Way
I don't know where to start in describing this phenomenal site. If you want to know what your primitive art replicas should emulate, go here. If you need books and supplies, kits or authentic primitive style collectables this is the site. Check it out and see if I'm not right!

Ted Baileys Primitive Technology Homepage
Lots of primtive technology links here to browse. Find information on atlatls, boomerangs and throwing sticks, primitive skills, and much more.

The Primitive Skills Group
This is an e-mail subscription group headed by Andre-Francois Bourbou. I have read their archives and I recommend you do the same. What you will find is high qualitiy discussion and sharing of a broad range of primitive skills and technology. If you like what you see on this introductory page then information is given so that you can subscribe and join in on all the fun and learning as well!

Lithics-Net
This is a superb site that can only be called an online lithic museum and reference source. A tremendous amount of work has gone into this site in an effort to provide information on point styles, dates, morphology, and general descriptions for about every point you can think of...and the site is still growing!! You can learn about flaking styles, shoulder types, and shapes. And you can search the pictures and descriptions by point name or general shape. A must see site that you will have a hard time leaving.

The UCSB Anthropology Web Site
This site is so cool. It's got all kinds of great information and an awesome, award winning "Virtual Kiva Tour". You must go here!

The History of Earth
You travel to the past by way of a nicely rendered time machine control panel.
