The Indian Shell Heap: Archaeology of the Ruth Moore Site

Paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. Book is in pristine condition. Gott's Island off the coast of Maine - birthplace and home to Moore proved to be an Indian Shell Heap site rich not only in memorabilia from the past 100 years and her own life, but also the fragments of past centuries. Pipe stems and beads have been lifted from the heap and dated at more than 1,000 years old. Stemmed spearpoints and dentate-impressed pottery show the work of early hunters and gatherers from 2,000 years ago. Even more rare in a site that is being swept away by the winds and tides of erosion, are shards of pottery from what may have been the island's earliest inhabitants 4,000 years in the past. ; B&W Illustrations, Photographs & Map; 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Artikel-Nr. 10263
