 Pete Rhode is proud to announce the recent publication of a monograph on California charmstones: Coyote Press has released the long awaited tome Further Notes on California Charmstones by Albert B. Elsasser. It includes chapters on typology, relationships to local rock art, symbolism, and Rhode's albeit lengthy compendium on phallic symbolism compiled from researchers contributions (and lots of his too!).
Coyote Press offers a litany of works on California archaeology and a whole lot more so please check out their catalog. They are always interested in publishing research on rock art and related antropological endeavours.
