Early Man in the New World
by Richard Shutler
Category: Social Science

When did the first settlers of the Americas arrive? What can we discover about their culture? Distinguished archaeologists and anthropologists take advantage of fresh finds from major excavations, and developments in dating techniques and paleoecology to discuss the origins and migrations of early people in ancient North America. Controversies in the field are faced, the application of new techniques examined, and new areas for inquiry identified. Of great use to professionals, the book is also a valuable resource for courses in prehistory, archaeology and related subjects. `This is a work that will stand for a long time as the most complete summary of the topic.' -- James J Hester, University of Colorado
