"Morro Bay is one of more than thirty major estuaries where prehistoric people thrived along the California coast, yet for much of the twentieth century these systems were deemed insignificant within the broader outline of New World prehistory. Recent research, however, has shown that estuaries were magnets for human occupation as early as 10,000 years ago. This book combines archaeological data from large-scale excavations completed bet ..."
"Life on the River presents archaeological findings from Site CA-SHA-1043, located on the Upper Sacramento River and inhabited by Wintu tribes before (and during) the arrival of Europeans to the area in the mid-nineteenth century. Informative and descriptive, the book carefully explains archaeological techniques and discoveries while creating an accessible link to early Indian life."
"Some forty scholars examine California's prehistory and archaeology, looking at marine and terrestrial palaeoenvironments, initial human colonization, linguistic prehistory, early forms of exchange, mitochondrial D.N.A. studies, and rock art. This work is the most extensive study of California's prehistory undertaken in the past 20 years. An essential resource for any scholar of California prehistory and archaeology!"
