Review
"A remarkable book by one of the true geniuses in the field of anthropology during this century."--H. M. Wormington
"The book is absolutely essential for students of South American archaeology as well as inquirers into migration to the New World. It is equally important for studies of the history of anthropology."--Choice
"The field notes of Junius, and Peggy's diary, are valuable records of the excavation, artifacts, and interpretations of the best archaeologist to work in the southern tip of South America."--James B. Griffin
"Two sets of readers, those who admire Junius Bird as a scholar and as a man and the many who seek clearer understanding of the early conquest of the New World by Homo sapiens, will welcome this unusual book."--Antiquity
