This all new book draws together and brings up to date what has been learned about the state's prehistory and the environments early people experienced. It presents a sample of sites representing Washington's geographic regions and touches on historical archaeology, including excavations at fur-trade forts and Whitman mission and at Cathlapotle, a Columbia River village visited by Lewis and Clark."--BOOK JACKET
