Emerging from the mist : studies in Northwest Coast culture history / edited by R.G. Matson, Gary Coupland, and Quentin Mackie.

Summary:

Annotation Our understanding of the precontact nature of Canada's Northwest Coast has changed dramatically over the last twenty years. This book brings together the most recent research on the culture history and archaeology of a region of longstanding anthropological importance, whose complex societies represent the most prominent examples of hunters and gatherers.
Annotation The Northwest Coast of North America, note the editors (anthropologists from the Canadian Universities of British Columbia, Toronto, and Victoria), is the location of one of the most prominent examples of a complex hunter-gatherer society in ethnographic studies, yet they wonder why there is a relative lack of archaeological studies of the area. Seeking to address this problem, they present 13 studies that explore archaeological sites on Vancouver Island, other areas of British Columbia, and the states of Oregon and Washington. The book is distributed by the U. of Washington Press Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
