Worth The View Mar 10, 2009
By Steven M. Watts
A View To The Past is what we in the primitive skills/aboriginal technologies field have come to expect from Scott Jones--clear, well-written, and backed-by-experience. Typical of Scott's work, this volume exemplifies a true marriage of archaeological insight and the practice of primitive living skills. It's instructive "how-to" meets introspective "why-to". Enjoy the view.

Overview of Primitive Craftiness! Feb 01, 2011
By Randy J. Mercurio
I concur with the reviews up until the date of this one. This is a great compilation of crafty primitive skills covering subjects on stone tools, bows, arrows, rabbitsticks, shelters, cordage, pitch glue, bow-drill, digging sticks, pottery, hafting, scrapers and many other interesting topics/discussions of primitive technology. Some of these have been published previously in the Bulletin of Primitive Technology. If you are looking for a great introduction and reference book to primitive skills with lots of great tips you have found your book!
Insights On Ourselves Nov 08, 2010
By Russ Cutts
Scott Jones is an educator. His style is refined by decades of thoughtful, diligent practice and sharing of ancient technologies. There seems to be 'only so much room' in a human being's life to hold knowledge -- memory is such a tricky thing. In consideration of remembering valuable prehistoric skills -- knowledge that helps us survive, and thrive -- very few people have afforded themselves the special joy of experiencing archaeological lifeways. Scott is also quite capable of leading the reader to pragmatic views on how these ancestral methods find purchase in our modern lives. A quality book.Wildfire-fire Making Art
