The First Peoples of the Northeast

Uncovering the latest archaeological findings from New England, New York and the Canadian Maritimes, this work traces the region's changing geography, peoples, and diverse cultures during the nearly 12,000 year span from the first human occupants at the end of the last Ice Age up to the period of European contact. Supplementing the richly illustrated text is a useful listing of related museums, and other organizations in the region, as well as a brief overview of the methods of the archaeologist. The book has had broad appeal for young adults, college students and the general public.
