Below Nebraska: Archeology and Ancestors - Paperback

by John R. Bozell (Editor), Courtney Ziska (Editor)

People have been living in what we now call Nebraska for at least 13,000 years. For more than a century, archeologists have been investigating the material remains of human occupation in the state. What have they learned? And how do they even know where to dig? This book was written by archeologists for readers who may be unfamiliar with the subject. Richly illustrated with more than one hundred artifact photos, illustrations, and maps, Below Nebraska tells the story of the various peoples who have lived here and shows how archeologists investigate the long-buried past.
