註釋"Filling a notable gap in North American archaeological literature, The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast is the first book to integrate and interpret archaeological data from the entire Atlantic Northeast, making unprecedented cultural connections across the region. Spanning from the earliest Indigenous occupation of the area, about 13,000 years ago, to the first centuries of European occupation, this book presents a cultural overview of the Atlantic Northeast, and weaves together the histories of all the peoples who have inhabited this vast region. Viewing the archaeological past as a deeply contextual historical narrative, Betts and Hrynick highlight the Indigenous peoples whose traditional lands make up this territory, including the Innu, Beothuk, Inuit, and numerous Wabanaki bands and tribes. They explore how the people who lived here responded creatively to climate and ecosystem change, and how they negotiated the arrival of new groups over time. Emphasizing connection, cultural continuity, and in-place history, The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast tracks the development of the earliest people as they transformed their glacier-edge way of life to one on the water's edge, becoming one of the most successful and longstanding marine-oriented cultures in North America. Supported by illustrations and maps documenting the archaeological legacy, as well as discussions of unanswered questions intended to spur debate, this comprehensive text is ideal for students, researchers, professional archaeologists, and anyone interested in the history of this region. This is what I'm using for the subject catalogue: Spanning from the earliest Indigenous occupations of the area to the first few centuries of European occupation, this book presents a cultural overview of the Atlantic Northeast, and for the first time, weaves together the histories of all the peoples who inhabited this vast region. Viewing the archaeological past as a deeply contextual historical narrative, Betts and Hrynick highlight the Indigenous peoples whose traditional lands make up this territory, including the Innu, Beothuk, Inuit, and numerous Wabanaki bands and tribes. They explore how the people who lived here responded creatively to climate and ecosystem change, and how they negotiated the arrival of numerous new groups over the years. Placing an emphasis on connection, cultural continuity, and in-place history, The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast tracks the development of the earliest people as they transformed their glacier-edge way of life to one on the water's edge, becoming one of the most successful and longstanding marine-oriented cultures in North America.
