Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of North American ArchaeologyThe little volume herewith presented to the public is a brief resumé of the progress which has been made, up to the present time, in the investigation and study of North American archaeology, The in creased activity among students devoting attention to the subject, the numerous explorations made, the rapid accumulation of data and the ¿ood of light thrown on the questions relating to prehistoric North America since the. Publication of the last general work relating thereto, call for a new summary. Whether the work now offered meets this demand must be left for the readers to decide. That some parts of the broad field have been left unnoticed is admitted, the attention being confined chie¿y to the more important characteristic features, as those best calculated to form an introduction to the subject, and as best calculated to interest the reader and younger students. With such an object in view, pages broken or interrupted by foot-notes are not only out of place, but often serve to break the thread the reader is following, or prove an interruption to his line of thought, reference notes have therefore been entirely omitted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
