Description
"A great book for a beginning class on historical archaeology since it shows not only the marriage of history and archaeology but demonstrates how a small and seemingly unimportant collection of artifacts and features can blossom into interesting and informative research... This is a great piece of work and well worth the reading."--Historical Archaeology "A useful book about a much neglected subject." --Montana: The Magazine of Western History "A masterful piece of micro history, building from the small piece to understand the larger implications of the use of landscape and supply systems in the nineteenth-century West. Clark's work is a prime example of how material culture and archaeology studies done in a holistic manner can generate new understanding of how and why events occurred in the past." --Douglas D. Scott, Professor of Anthropology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
