This book represents the archeological evidence for the first 5,500 years of prehistory in British Columbia, from about 10,500 to 5,000 years ago. As this period is poorly known, even to specialists, Early Human Occupation in British Columbia is a vital contribution to current knowledge about an enigmatic time in a critically important area of western North America.

This crisply edited and well-illustrated volume belongs in the library of anyone with an interest in the archaeology of western North America, or Paleo-Indian and the Early Archaic. All of the papers are excellent descriptive summaries of their individual topics. - K.M. Ames (Choice) The book is well put up ... the volume is a most significant contribution to a synthesis of recent work in the Western Canadian province that is so important to the prehisotry of the entire Northwest.
