The Peach State Guide to the Projectile Points of Georgia

This book presents an alphabetical listing of all 89 of the point names addressed.  It also contains an easy-to-understand point-form reference chart.  A distribution and page reference for each point should also help the reader identify the projectile points found within Georgia and some of the surrounding states. 

Each entry also includes research on the point name and location, a physical description of the point type, age of usage, and some of the associated cultural material derived from the 164 sites of the Central Georgia Surface Survey conducted across 18 counties in central Georgia.

A Field Guide to Southeastern Indian Pottery (Revised and Expanded)

In this work, Lloyd Schroder has created a 561 page Field Guide To Southeastern Indian Pottery designed to acquaint the reader with the identity of vessel type designs and their distribution. His handbook is meant to aid in understanding early socio-cultural boundaries and group interaction through illustration. The work contains over 3000 pictures of pottery types, maps of distribution, and associated point types within the Southeast; something that has never before been attempted.  This newest work is published in an 8×11 format for easier reading.

The History and Material Culture of the Muscogee Creek in Alabama and Georgia

 The History and Material Culture of the Muscogee Creek in Alabama & Georgia is based on earlier studies of the ceramic art of the Upper Creek people along the Alabama and Tallapoosa rivers and their Lower Creek relatives in southern and central Georgia.  The study demonstrates the heritage of Creek design and its development through the early 19th century as it adapted during the period of European fur trade and influence.  The understanding of Muscogee Creek history and culture is further aided through Lloyd’s study of a Creek home site at the Johnson County Landing in Johnson County, Georgia.

The Native American Toolbox

The Native American Tool Box is a study of over 150 tool types known to have been used at various periods over the last 18,000 years in the sourtheastern United States,  Tool forms made of bone or antler, flaked stone, ground stone, clay, iron and copper, and shell are all presented.  The discovery of each form is documented as well as its description and use.  A documented history of each tool’s recovery in the archaeological record and the tool’s period of use is also carefully noted.

The Anthropology of Florida Points and Blades

A favorite with many Florida collectors and students of archaeology throughout Florida, The Anthropology of Florida Points and Blades is the culmination of 15 years of research and preparation that presents each point and blade type found in Florida along with 117 of Florida’s pottery types within its archaeological context.  The volume contains over 700 pictures, maps and illustrations of points, pottery, cultural settlement patterns and mission systems throughout Florida’s past.

Walking in God's Wisdom

While this is not a religious site, many of our members have a common interest in the Bible.  This 700 plus page exposition on one of the Bible’s greatest books of wisdom is a father’s guide to teaching his sons how to live in harmony with biblical truth.  It is Lloyd’s legacy to his sons and all who share like values.

A Closer Walk With God: Meditations Through the Psalms

This devotional guide through the Psalms highlights some of the central passages in each of the first 50 chapters of the book of Psalms.  Because the Psalms is the ancient song book of Israel, Lloyd’s comments on each passage is followed by the words of a favorite Christian hymn.
