What is The Archaeology of Virginia's First Peoples about?

This volume focuses on Virginias pre-European Contact past. It opens with a discussion of Virginias physiographic regions by Christopher Egghart, whose dedication to the Commonwealths past led him to author over a third of the chapters you see here. In Chapter 2, Egghart discusses the rivers and resources that divide and shape the lands that American Indians traveled across, exploited, and settled and sets the state for a chronological presentation of Virginias pre-European Contact American Indian past. Chapter 3, by Dr. Clifford Boyd, emphasizes the Paleoindian period, but also more thoroughly explores the pre-Paleoindian period in a way not possible previously. Dr. Michael Barber then considers, in Chapter 4, the Early Archaic period, which sees major transformations in climate, as the last major Ice Age ended, and Ice Age megafauna that fascinated Thomas Jefferson became extinct.

In addition to the introduction of ceramic technology, this span sees an environment that becomes more modern in its character and human settlements increased
