Description: "In Time before History, Trawick Ward and Stephen Davis present the first comprehensive view of the prehistory of North Carolina.

Bringing together a wealth of information gleaned from archaeological excavations and surveys carried out across the state - from the mountains to the coast - they offer a fascinating look at the state's native past across a vast sweep of time, from the Paleo-Indian period, when the first immigrants to North America came from northeast Asia across a land bridge that spanned the Bering Strait, through the arrival of European traders and settlers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
