Ancient Pioneers gives a history of the native peoples of the Americas from their arrival around 12,000-15,000 years ago up to the arrival of Europeans. The history given is an overview of the various cultures in the Americas, from Alaska through South America, based on the archaeological evidence. Stuart points out the misnaming of many of the people groups by Europeans. The book contains numerous photographs, most in color, showing aerial photographs of archaeological sites, paintings, and artifacts interspersed throughout the text. Much of the ancient artwork is spectacular. It's a good place to start for learning about the history of the native peoples in the Americas. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Dramatic photographs suggest the primeval landscapes that greeted these first explorers and capture the mystery reflected in the artifacts they left behind. From the intricate flaking of a 10,000-year-old weapon point to the magnificent workmanship of a Moche lord's jewlery, from Inuit igloos to the "great houses" of the Anasazi to Maya temples to the astonishing stone city of Machu Picchu, Ancient Pioneers offers a new and enthralling glimpse of America's distant past."-- Book jacket.
