Anderson and Kenneth E.

It is organized in three parts: state records, the regional perspective, and reflections and future directions. Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology, hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations for future research round out the volume.","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55318986359128,"sku":"9780817321284","price":80.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780817321284.jpg?v=1771663518","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/american-southeast-at-the-end-of-the-ice-age","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
