Ohio Archaeology is a fascinating
journey of discovery into what scientists know about a
series of American Indian cultures that flourished in
the state for over 12,000 years. Author Bradley T. Lepper,
Curator of Archaeology, Ohio Historical Society, explores
the daily life, astounding achievements and mysterious
legacies of the first "Ohioans," from the earliest
Paleoindian hunters to the last Fort Ancient farmers before
European contact.
This beautiful 304-page, coffee table-style book contains
over 340 color illustrations, including photographs of
archaeological sites, excavations and research labs, museum
artifacts, a series of original |
 |
| |
artworks, computer graphics
of reconstructed sites, and maps and timelines for each
of Ohio's six archaeological periods. Ohio Archaeology
also presents 28 feature articles contributed by top regional
scholars about specific archaeological sites and investigations
(see Table of Contents). While the book focuses on recent
archaeological discoveries, Ohio Archaeology also examines
the discipline's past and future. Historian Dr. Terry
Barnhart contributes an intriguing essay about Ohio's
important role in the development of American archaeology
from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. The epilogue,
"Legacies," closes with an introspective summary
of the scientific and cultural issues being debated by
archaeologists, American Indians and government officials
in the 21st century. |
