Editorial Reviews

Mixing archaeology, ethnohistory, and modern tribal lore, Egloff and Woodward have assembled an extremely readable general introduction to the 12,000-year history of Native Americans in Virginia. This wonderfully attractive and beautifully illustrated volume is bound to instill the excitement of archaeology in readers and lists the resources available to interested persons that would allow them to follow up on that enthusiasm in a meaningful way.
