Abstract

"This is the first of three volumes intended to provide information on the human history of Canada prior to European contact. The volumes are based on archaeological research. This volume covers the period from 10,000 BC to 1,000 BC with each chapter dedicated to an identified culture that actually represents a composite of numerous independent societies who happened to share a relatively common cultural pattern. Each culture is considered from the following perspectives: an overall summary; cultural origins & descendants; technology; subsistence; settlement patterns; cosmology; external relationships; human biology; inferences on society; and limitations in the evidence."--WorldCat.org.
