In this brief, readable history, Paul H. Carlson surveys the Lubbock Lake Landmark's long geologic past, placing emphasis on human activity in the region and showing how early peoples adapted to shifting environmental conditions and changing animal resources. Carlson places this significant national archaeological site in broad perspective, connecting it to geology and history in the larger upper Brazos River drainage system and, by extension, the central Llano Estacado. Carlson consulted geological records, paleontological, anthropological, and archaeological reports, astrometrical and climatological studies, and histories of the region, reaching back through deep time to explore the significance of the region to life on the Texas High Plains.
