This book contains 12 different chapters, by different authors, each a specialist in their field. I am very interested in the Gault site of Texas and the chapter written by Michael Collins, Phd on the Gault site, is worth the price of the entire book to me! He covers many previously unanswered questions about Clovis, many good black and white photos of Gault -clovis artifacts, and microscopic photos of use-wear on edges of tools. My first good look at the Gault site in print, and I am savoring evern second of it. Collins is a remarkable man, his use of the language is clear, concise and understandable by the average man on the street. I love this book!!

This is a great compilation of articles that further define the paleolithic peoples as a society who utilized their environment to its fullest. The fallacy of these people as single focus big game hunters has been put to rest.
