They could have subsisted on easily caught cod, but they chose to capture dangerous and elusive swordfish. This book explains beautifully the prehistory of these people, the evolution of archaeological thinking about them, and the myriad new scientific threads that shed new light on this old culture. Anyone with even a passing interest in New England's deep maritime roots must read this book.In the closing years of the nineteenth ceRed Paint cultureIndians of North AmericaMaineAtlantic CoastAntiquitiesSwordfish fishingMaineHistoryFish remains (Archaeology)MaineAtlantic CoastCoastal archaeologyMaineUnderwater archaeologyMaineAtlantic Coast (Me.)AntiquitiesMaine, Gulf ofAntiquitiesElectronic books.Red Paint culture.Indians of North AmericaAntiquities.Swordfish fishingHistory.Fish remains (Archaeology)Coastal archaeologyUnderwater archaeology974.01Bourque Bruce J(Bruce Joseph)861957MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462560003321The swordfish hunters1923969UNINA
