Book Description

August 1997
Archaeologist Steve Cassells details the prehistory of Colorado from the Paleo-Indian mammoth and bison hunters through the Archaic, Fremont, and Plains Woodland peoples to the Anasazi of the southwest and the historic Utes and Plains Indians.

The author draws on unpublished reports, personal communications, and exhaustive research in the printed literature to make this a book in which even specialists will find new and exciting material. Significant sites from every cultural stage and every part of the state are examined, and an "Archaeological Scrapbook" presents thumbnail sketches of many of the colorful and significant archaeologists who have influenced the development of the science in the state.

Completely revised and updated, "The Archaeology of Colorado" is still the most comprehensive and important book on the subject ever published. It provides a complete overview for the professional and amateur archaeologist and a fine introduction for anyone interested in the prehistory of the West.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you own one book on Colorado Archaeology..., January 1, 2011
This review is from: The Archaeology of Colorado (Paperback)
This book was on the reading list for a class on Colorado archaeology I just completed so I was obliged to buy it. A clean used copy ordered on Amazon cost me 35.00.
To my delight this proves to be an extremely well-written survey of the archaeological history of Colorado. It's a pleasure to read just for the writing abilities of the author and it can be used an an encyclopedia of what we currently understand of Colorado prehistory.
This book is out of print but good copies are available. Some local libraries will also have this book.
If you have an interest in Southwestern archaeology this would be a very good book to own and a good place to start.
