This constitutes a solid! down-to-earth attempt at an ethnography of the many human groups who successfully lived in this region from the Clovis mammoth hunters until the final heyday of the Plains buffalo...Any Plains archaeologist must have this book! and any professional person interested in the history of man the hunter will find it fascinating reading." --SCIENCE Informationen zum Autor Marcel Kornfeld, George C Frison, Mary Lou Larson Klappentext A comprehensive revision of the classic prehistory of the North American high plains.
