Ways of the Ancestors
註釋"Ways of the Ancestors is an introduction to the story of Arkansas's ancient American Indian inhabitants. It uses examples of archeological studies in Arkansas and adjacent areas of the South to reconstruct the story of what life was like for the early ancestors of modern American Indians who made their homes in Arkansas, from the time of earliest Paleoindian migration up to the first encounters with European explorers several millennia later. The book is divided into five chapters: Entry, Settling In, Expanding, Complexity, and Encounters. These chapters correspond to five archeological periods commonly recognized for the region: Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, Mississippi, and Protohistoric. Archeological sites, artifacts, phases, and cultures in Arkansas are presented to give a general summary of how ancient American Indian societies changed and adapted over approximately 13,000 years"--
