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 'It is comprehensive, contains references to almost all of the important literature, and opens avenues for further investigation.' -- Southwestern Lore, Vol 51 No 2, June 1985 '...provides a good overview of recent pre-Clovis and Paleoindian studies. This book will serve best as an introductory text and as a guide to additional readings in Early Man studies.' -- WYO Archaeologist, Vol 28 No 1/2, 1985
