Description
The Northwestern Plains is developing a unique and viable archeology, offering students choosing their future research topics in this exciting time a variety of possibilities. The entire area of the Northwestern Plains - mountains, foothills, and plains has been a testing ground for human ingenuity. It provides an unusual opportunity to study more than 11,000 years of prehistoric hunting and gathering. "Prehistoric Hunters of the High Plains" synthesizes what was a disparate body of data on the prehistory of the Northwestern Plains and presents it in rational and understandable terms. It examines the prehistoric cultural chronology and the sources of the data for the Northwestern High Plains. It presents prehistoric hunting and gathering subsistence strategies for the Northwestern High Plains. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of archaeology using the data from geology, soils, faunal analysis, pollen, and phytolith studies. It also provides a methodology for data recovery.
