The Prehistory of Texas
Author: Timothy K. Perttula
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1603446494
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Paleoindians first arrived in Texas more than eleven thousand years ago, although relatively few sites of such early peoples have been discovered. Texas has a substantial post-Paleoindian record, however, and there are more than fifty thousand prehistoric archaeological sites identified across the state. This comprehensive volume explores in detail the varied experience of native peoples who lived on this land in prehistoric times. Chapters on each of the regions offer cutting-edge research, the culmination of years of work by dozens of the most knowledgeable experts. Based on the archaeological record, the discussion of the earliest inhabitants includes a reclassification of all known Paleoindian projectile point types and establishes a chronology for the various occupations. The archaeological data from across the state of Texas also allow authors to trace technological changes over time, the development of intensive fishing and shellfish collecting, funerary customs and the belief systems they represented, long-term changes in settlement mobility and character, landscape use, and the eventual development of agricultural societies. The studies bring the prehistory of Texas Indians all the way up through the Late Prehistoric period (ca. a.d. 700–1600). The extensively illustrated chapters are broadly cultural-historical in nature but stay strongly focused on important current research problems. Taken together, they present careful and exhaustive considerations of the full archaeological (and paleoenvironmental) record of Texas.

Using and Curating Archaeological Collections
Author: Mark S. Warner
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 0932839622
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
All archaeologists have responsibilities to support the collections they produce, yet budgeting for and managing collections over the length of a project and beyond is not part of most archaeologists training. While this book in the SAA Press Archaeology in Action Series highlights major challenges that archaeologists and curators face with regard to collections, it also stresses the values, uses, and benefits of collections. It also demonstrates the continued significance of archaeological collections to the profession, tribes, and the public and provides critical resources for archaeologists to carry out their responsibilities. Many lament that the archaeological record is finite and disappearing. In this context, collections are even more important to preserve for future use, and this book will help all stakeholders do so.

Turquoise Ridge and Late Prehistoric Residential Mobility in the Desert Mogollon Region
Author: Michael E. Whalen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Based on findings from excavation projects that began in 1977 and ended in 1986 on lands at Fort Bliss, Texas, this study focuses on two particular sites: Turquoise Ridge and the Huesito site. One major topic of discussion is the role of residential mobility in late prehistoric adaptations. Residential mobility had always been assumed for the region's earliest populations, but the idea that it figured in later adaptive strategies was of more recent origin.
