The Agate Basin Site : A Record of the Paleoindian Occupation of the Northwestern High Plains, Paperback / softback Book

The Agate Basin Site : A Record of the Paleoindian Occupation of the Northwestern High Plains Paperback / softback

Part of the Foundations of Archaeology series

Paperback / softback

Description

George Frison and Dennis Stanford's Agate Basin monograph is not only a classic of Plains paleoindian archaeology, but also of multidisciplinary research, geoarchaeology, zooarchaeology, and experimental archaeology.

Lucid presentation of meticulously excavated and analyzed sediments, bones and artifacts convey an unmatched sense of the sights, sounds and smells of Paleoindian life on the High Plains-from brutal winters and blistering summers, to killing and butchering bison, and to making lethal weaponry. As Matthew Hill writes in his new prologue, 'Not merely an important volume of the Frison canon, Agate Basin stands as a foundational document in modern Americanist archaeology and a major accomplishment in American science.' Originally published by Academic Press in 1982
