Exploring ancient native America

Description:

"This sourcebook analyzes the evidence left behind by ancient Native Americans throughout North America, from the Pueblo dwellings of the Southwest, to the buffalo jumps of the Great Plains, to coastal villages in the Northwest. The author pieces together the history of these societies through their burial mounds, petroglyphs, artifacts, celestial observatories, and other remains to offer new perspectives on Indian history, culture, and ritual, and provides Native American commentary on such topics as language, sacred sites, and oral tradition."--BOOK JACKET. "With state-by-state listings, and more than one hundred photographs, drawings, and maps, Exploring Ancient Native America is the most comprehensive guide to these important precontact and historic sites and brings these ancient advanced civilizations vividly to life."--BOOK JACKET.
