5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally someone publishes archaeological data from a dig., January 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hunter-Gatherer Mortuary Practices during the Central Texas Archaic (Texas Archaeology and Ethnohistory Series) (Hardcover)
First, the down side. For $37.50, I hoped for a big book full of on-site color pictures and visual data. Doesn't have that. Information wise, it is outstanding. It is very difficult to find easily read data concerning ancient man in Texas. This book not only contains the information for which it is named, but includes parametal info as well. I really enjoyed the information on faunal, artifacts, species and other information pertinent to the time period. Even the weather is included as best can be determined. The concept that many other sink holes in the area could be cemeteries is amazing in itself. Where are the other tens of thousands of deceased people that once occupied this land? More archaeologists in the future should take the time to actually publish this interesting and valuable data for the general public.
