The Archaeology of Missouri, The author proposes that the major migration route to North America was by water 20,000 or more years ago and that probably the first people to reach Missouri came overland from Mexico. His study reconstructs the past cultural history of Missouri from the time of the first migrants before 12,000 B.C. to 1000 B.C." This volume is divided into various traditional and achaeological historical periods and describes the physical environment and prehistory of Missouri through the Archaic period.. It is illustrated by Eleanor F. Chapman, the author's wife.
