- Summary
- It is now thought possible that man lived in the Western Hemisphere as much as 100,000 years ago. By reading the articles in this collection, the student can trace the acceptance during the past two decades of increasingly earlier dates for the arrival of man in American. A reading of these articles will also give the student a basic understanding of how modern archaeological techniques are used to reconstruct dectials of early Indian life. In his preface introduction, Dr. MacNeish outlines the twenty years of archaeological progress that these articles represent, making the collection into an important sourcebook for courses in anthropology and archaeology.
