"Paleoindian Archaeology provides much needed hemispheric and hands-on analytical perspectives on the early human occupation of the Americas. The contributors explore similarities and differences among the early sites and assemblages in North, Central, and South America, providing a refreshing yet complementary approach to more localized studies."--David G. Anderson, University of Tennessee

Since the 1997 report of investigations into the Monte Verde site in Chile, there has been a surge of interest in early habitation sites and a polarization of opinion about the antiquity of humans in the Americas. While Clovis remains the earliest undisputed cultural complex in the New World and one of the fastest and most successful diasporas in human history, many scholars argue that this culture did not enter an empty landscape. This volume samples sites from Alaska to the southern cone of South America to provide a better understanding of the processes by which the early settlement of the Americas occurred at the end of the late Wisconsonian Ice Age.

With broad geographical and topical breadth, Paleoindian Archaeology provides theoretical perspectives on early migrations, interpretations of single sites, and comparative studies of material culture. Included are a synthesis on radiocarbon dating, a critique of Paleoindian studies, a reconstruction of the Clovis drought based on geomorphological and paleo-environmental data, several site specific studies (one on the only known Clovis burial in the New World), discussions on fluted points from South America, and three studies comparing North and South American evidence (grassland adaptations, stone technologies, and Paleoindian artifacts).

I was really interested why this book got the bad reviews and that compelled myself to read it cover to cover. At first glance this book looked pretty good , many good images for use as reference collections and heavy emphasis on dating and sequencing which may be boring for some but is right up my alley. If this book has attracted a low rating it may be because of some of the contributing authors, many of which seem to write from the perspective of extreme Clovis First bias. I personally being actively working on a non Clovis - Pre Clovis site would probably be considered a Big Foot hunter by these authors but that does not bother me because I realize that scrutinization from different theoretical perspectives is a necessary tool for refining theoretical research. I personally loved this work as it provides an accumulation of a wealth of data from many sites tempered by temporal relationships of lithic artifacts in respect to geoarchaeological settings. If one can see past the biased assessment of dating techniques ( similar to the games a politicians lawyer would play, not what you say it is what you don’t say) If the artifact is non fluted throw out the old dates , if the artifact is fluted throw out the young dates and if you find old non fluted terminal deposits below Clovis points then the Clovis points are out of context but if you find terminal deposits of fluted points mixed with or above with non fluted points then the non fluted points are out of context, if you can see past, this work actual has information that supports the theory that Clovis was not first. They also provide some good insight on Black Mats and the problems that plague the accuracy of modern and past dating methods. Personally I would recommend this book for both camps as the authors have compiled some very good research as long as one can see past the bias and keep an open mind.

There are no customer reviews because Amazon keeps blocking out anyone with an honest opinion about how bad this book really is.
