And yet, archaeology reveals that Native Americans lived in the region at least 13,000 years before such European incursions. Archaeology of Minnesota tells their story-or as much as the region's wealth of artifacts, evidence of human activity, and animal and plant remains can convey. From archaeological materials, Guy Gibbon reconstructs the social, economic, and political systems-the lifeways-of those who inhabited what we now call Minnesota Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Subject Paleo-Indians -- Minnesota Mississippian culture -- Minnesota Indians of North America -- Minnesota -- Antiquities HISTORY -- United States -- State & Local -- General.
