Seller's Description:
Very good. No dust jacket. x, 436 p. Notes. Bibliography. The author has stated "Retrospection, I suppos, inveitably comes with age, and I have indulged myself in it here. After 50 years in the profession of archaeology, I have looked back over some of my writings during that long period. I have tried to remember the intellectual and academinc context in which the articles were written, to recall my own attitudes in those times, and to appraise these pieces now in the light of advances in archaelolgical knowledge and changes in the procedures of the discipline. The 30 essarys or articles that compose the main body of this book were writtenbetween 1945 and 1986. All deal with Americanist subjects....These writings represent my attempts to understand and eludicate a portion of that Precolumbian past with which I was concerned druing my career. "
