Florida's First People: 12,000 Years of Human History

Autor Robin C. Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2013
The early people who inhabited Florida developed diverse, hardy, and complex societies. Dramatic archaeological advances in methods of excavation, preservation, and analysis are bringing to light a wealth of new information about these people and their lifestyles. Florida's First People combines contemporary archaeology, the writings of early European explorers, and replication experiments to paint a vivid picture of the state's original inhabitants. It allows us to share in their daily tasks, examine their artistic and ceremonial artifacts, follow them in the hunt, and experience their environment.

Marquardt, Curator in Archaeology, Florida Museum of Natural History
