Summary

"Journey to the Ice Age, by archaeologist and curator Peter Storck, explores the challenges faced by the Early Paleo-Indians of northeastern North America. A revealing, autobiographical account, this is at once a record of Storck's discoveries and an introduction to the practice, challenges, and spirit of archaeology." "If you've ever wanted to roll back the present and see the landscape of the past, this book is sure to strike a chord. Designed to take readers on their own journey to the Ice Age, it includes a guided tour across ancient beaches, through glacially scoured valleys, and up into remote highlands. Of interest to both specialist and novice, this personal, evocative account is bound to satisfy anyone who's ever yearned to ask an archaeologist: How do you know where to dig? Why do you do what you do? What does it mean?"--Jacket.
