Description

Archaeological Landscapes at the High Plains combines history, anthropology, archaeology, and geography to take a closer have a look at the relationships between land and people on this unique North American region.

Focusing on long-term change, this book considers ethnographic literature, archaeological evidence, and environmental data spanning thousands of years of human presence to have in mind human perception and construction of landscape. The contributors offer cohesive and synthetic studies emphasizing hunter-gatherers and subsistence farmers.

Using landscape as both reality and metaphor, Archaeological Landscapes at the High Plains explores the different and changing ways that people interacted with place on this transitional zone between the Rocky Mountains and the eastern prairies.

The latest archaeologists working on this small area have chosen diverse approaches to have in mind the past and its relationship to the present. Through these ten case studies, this variety is highlighted but results in a common theme – that the High Plains incorporates vital locales to which people, over generations or millennia, return. Providing both data and theory on a region that has not prior to now received much attention from archaeologists, especially compared with other regions in North The united states, this volume is a welcome addition to the literature.
