George Frison's Prehistoric Hunters on the High Plains has been the standard text or plains prehistory since its first publication in 1978, influencing generations of archaeologists. Now, a third edition of this classic work is available for scholars, students, and avocational archaeologists. Thorough and comprehensive, extensively illustrated, the book provides an introduction to the archaeology of the more than 13,000 year long history of the western Plains and the adjacent Rocky Mountains. Reflecting the boom in recent archaeological data, it reports on studies at a wide array of sites from deep recent times examining the variability in the archaeological record as well as in fluid, analytical, and interpretive methods. The third edition brings the book up to date in a number of significant areas, as addressing several topics inadequately developed IN previous editions. Book jacket.
