Forty Years of Research on Ohio's caves and rockshelters,
By
This review is from: Caves And Culture: 10,000 Years of Ohio History (Hardcover)
"The book seeks to address a number of important problems, specificaly the use of rock shelters by humans through time and transcontinental continuities. It presents new and updated, unreported research from such Ohio caves and rock shelters as Stow Rockshelter (Stow), Peters Cave (Ross County), Hendricks Cave (Wyandotte County), and Chesser Cave (Athens), among others."Caves and Culture" is primarily focused on the archaeological research of Dr Olaf H Prufer and his associates as they investigated and explored caves in Ohio since 1964. Spurlock and her co-editors report, sometimes reclaim, and frequently reinterpret, data that will be usefull to the understanding of Ohio archaeology for decades to come." The book will interest archaeology students with an interest in local or regional (Midwestern) prehistory. Linda B Spurlock is a biological anthropologist who specializes in forensic art and fossil reconstruction, and has worked on many archaeological projects in the NE United States. Olaf H Prufer is professor of anthrolopogy at Kent State University and has written "Krill Cave: a Stratified Rockshelter in Summit County" 1989 and "Ohio and Raven Rocks: A Specialized Late Woodland Rockshelter Occupation in Belmont County, Ohio" 1981. Thomas R Pigott is an avocational archaeologist and the curator of the Sofsky Archives in Southington, Ohio. He created most of the images of artifacts illustrating this book. |
