Text, illustrations, and maps survey the history, art, and archaeology of the original cultures native to North, Central, and South America While beginning with the European conquest and ending with Native American survivals, this atlas mostly concerns the prehistoric archaeology of North, Middle, and South America. Interspersed with shaded relief maps showing site locations, style zones, and cultural boundaries are sections on special topics and major sites. An extensive, well-researched text unites the maps, illustrations, and feature sections so successfully that this book can be recommended as the best available introduction to Native American prehistory. It is the first such atlas for the New World, and most libraries should have it.William S. Dancey, Anthropology Dept., Ohio State Univ., Columbus Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
