This excellent summary and evaluation... should serve as the baseline of interpretation for many years to come... Highly recommended. Choice A concise and readable account of the environmental setting and peopling of the far northern reached of the two continents -- Becky M. Saleeby Ecology Thorough and thought-provoking... a must-have reference. -- Kelly E. Graf Journal of Anthropological Research An original and unparalleled summary of the pre-Holocene archeology and environment of this unique and pivotal region. -- Ben Fitzhugh Human Ecology Useful to students and professionals alike. -- Raymond Le Blanc Artic Hoffecker and Elias' well-written volume is a thorough discussion of the landscape, climate, vegetation, and fauna of what was once Beringia as well as a more than adequate discussion of sites, artefact complexes and their places in Northeast Asia and Alaska. It provides good coverage for both the interested layman and the professional investigator. -- Robert E. Ackerman Antiquity
