Publisher's Synopsis
Who were the first Americans? Where did they come from? When did they arrive? In this dramatic reconstruction of the daily lives of the earliest Americans, leading anthropologist Kenneth Tankersley tackles those questions, explaining how people survived the Ice Age and forever altered the course of human history. Drawing on more than 2 decades of fieldwork around the world, Tankersley takes readers on an exciting journey into America's most ancient human past - from the deep recesses of underground caverns in the East to the mountains and deserts of the West - providing a behind -the-scenes look at the search, discovery and examination of Ice Age sites and artifacts. Based on the author's unique mix of archaelogy, anthropology, and history, IN SEARCH OF ICE AGE AMERICANS provides the most current theories and up-to-date answers to the fundamental questions of the continent's past. This the first book to tell the real stories behind America's most important archaelogical discoveries by those who made them.
