Retrieving

Edited by John R. Halsey

The
occasion of Michigan's one-hundred-fiftieth anniversary of statehood on January
26, 1987 provided the basis for numerous public celebrations of Michigan's past,
present, and future. Among the suggested commemorations was a new book on Michigan
archaeology to replace James Fitting's 1975 update of his 1970 The
Archaeology of Michigan. After 12 years, an enormous
amount of survey work, and a significant number of additional excavations,
Retrieving Michigan's Buried Past: The Archaeology
of the Great Lakes State is at last reality. Comprised
of thirteen chapters contributed by distinguished archaeologists, the book covers
not only the full range of prehistoric occupations in the state but also gives
extensive coverage of the archaeology of Michigan from the time of first European
exploration to the dawn of the twentieth century. |
