5.0 out of 5 stars
Instant immersion into Washington state prehistory,
By gthorgaard (Pullman, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Archaeology in Washington (Paperback)
This book by Ruth Kirk (author of many Washington guidebooks) and Richard Daugherty (a leading Washington State University archaeologist involved in many of the studies discussed in the book) provides a wonderful introduction to the field of archaeology and to many of the diverse sites which have been studied across the state of Washington. In the process, the reader is exposed to many themes: the dramatic geologic events that characterize the state's history (volcanoes, tsunamis, mudslides, ashfalls, giant floods), food-gathering and cultural patterns of Native Americans, long-term patterns of climate change, and effects of European contact. A very interesting chapter on archaeology of newer sites related to European settlement is also provided. The photos and list of references at the back of the book are excellent. This book makes me want to go out and visit the sites (where possible) and museums to see what is discused firsthand.
