Arch Lake Woman : Physical Anthropology and Geoarchaeology Hardback

Part of the Peopling of the Americas Publications series

Hardback

Description

The Arch Lake human burial site, discovered in 1967 in eastern New Mexico, contains the third-oldest known remains in North America.

Since its original excavation and removal to Eastern New Mexico University’s Blackwater Draw Museum, the 10,000 radiocarbon-year-old burial has been known only locally.

In February 2000 an interdisciplinary team led by Douglas W.

Owsley reexamined the osteology, geology, archaeology, and radiocarbon dating of the burial.

In this first volume in Peopling of the Americas Publications—released by Texas A&M University Press for the Center for the Study of the First Americans—Arch Lake Woman presents the results of this recent analysis of the skeleton and site.

In addition to color and black-and-white illustrations, Arch Lake Woman includes extensive tables describing the team’s discoveries and comparing their results with those of other ancient burials.
