Stone Art Thirteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1891-1892, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1896, pages 47-178.

"Stone Art" by Gerard Fowke is a detailed report that looks at the stone tools and decorations made and used by Native Americans, mainly in the eastern and central areas of the Mississippi Valley. It studies different kinds of objects like axes and scrapers, talking about how they were used, where they were found, and how they were made. The study uses a large collection from the Bureau of Ethnology to study and record these artifacts, stressing the importance of grouping and naming them correctly to learn about the connections between the tools and the cultures that made them. The effort shows how complicated it is to classify these objects because they come in different shapes and are made of various materials.
