Offering a tapestry of data, description, speculation, fact and theory, this text provides an introduction to the early inhabitants and cultures of continental North America. It explores each cultural area, its major social complexes and resources, archaelogical sites, and pioneering archaelogists.
First published in 1998. Did prehistoric humans walk to North America from Siberia? Who were the inhabitants of the spectacular Anasazi cliff dwellings in the Southwest and why did they disappear?
