Honoring Our Elders: A History of Eastern Arctic Archaeology

by William W. Fitzhugh (Editor)

In 1993 , as arctic archaeology became an established academic subject in colleges and universities, practitioners came together at Dartmouth College to tell the stories of the pioneers in arctic archaeology – Elmer Harp, Guy Mary-Rousselière, Frederica De Laguna, Graham Rowley, and others – as well as to examine the current state of arctic archaeological research. This multi-authored volume presents the proceeds of that meeting in honor of those archaeological elders, and as a tool to assess future directions. It is illustrated with over 150 maps and photographs.
