Description

This comprehensive scholarly examination brings together forty leading researchers to explore California's ancient past through multiple disciplinary lenses. The work investigates marine and terrestrial palaeoenvironments, traces initial human colonization patterns, examines linguistic prehistory, documents early exchange systems, presents mitochondrial DNA findings, and analyses rock art traditions. Spanning two decades of accumulated knowledge, this volume represents the most extensive study of California's prehistory undertaken in recent years, offering both rigorous academic depth and accessibility for general scholars. Editors Terry Jones and Kathryn Klar have assembled a vast repository of information presented in readable, understandable prose that bridges specialist and non-specialist audiences alike.
