| Sommario/riassunto: | Perttula provides cutting-edge research from dozens of experts on the varied experience of native peoples who lived in prehistoric Texas through 1600 A.D. He includes a reclassification of all known Paleoindian projectile point types and traces technological changes over time, the development of intensive fishing and shellfish collecting, funerary customs and the belief systems they represented, long-term changes in settlement mobility and character, landscape use, and the eventual development of agricultural societies. |
