The early settlement of North America : the Clovis era
Gary Haynes (Author)
"The Early Settlement of North America is an examination of the first recognizable culture in the New World: the Clovis complex. Gary Haynes begins his analysis with a discussion of the archeology of Clovis fluted points in North America and a review of the history of the research on the topic. He presents and evaluates all the evidence that is now available on the artifacts, the human populations of the time, and the environment, and he examines the adaptation of the early human settlers in North America to the simultaneous disappearance of the mammoths and mastodonts." "Haynes offers a reappraisal of our current state of knowledge about the peopling of this continent and provides a new contribution to the debate with his own integrated theory of Clovis, which incorporates new biological, ecological, behavioral and archeological data."--Jacket
