Description:

"From Mounds to Mammoths presents Oklahoma's prehistory from thirty thousand years ago to historic contact times.". "Claudette Gilbert and Robert L. Brooks take the reader back thousands of years to experience life on the plains. They discuss the Cooper site, which has given us valuable insights into Folsom technology, hunting practices, and ritual. Here archaeologists discovered a thunderbolt painted on a bison skull - the earliest evidence of artwork in North America. The story of Spiro Mounds, a more recent culture, reveals life in the Arkansas River basin 800-1000 years ago."--BOOK JACKET.
