A great starter book for the artifact collector

"Artifacts of Ancient Civilizations" by Alex G. Malloy is a superb introcuction to the artifacts of various ancient cultures. A basic outilne of collecting ancient artifacts is given followed by sections on Early Man, Western Asiatic, The Ancient Holy Land, Central Asiatic, Egypt, Greece and Rome. There is also a section on Pre-Columbian artifacts. Values are given for 2353 different items. At 257 pages, there is not room for a great deal of detail, but this is a great first book to buy on this subject.
