My graduate students need to have a copy of this book. As a senior North American archaeologist who speaks little Spanish and reads none, I know far too little about the archaeology of South and Central America. This book adds seven chapters to my education concerning invigorating new archaeological research going on in Spanish-speaking regions to the south of us. --Dennis Jenkins, senior research associate and director Northern Great Basin Archaeological Field School, Museum of Natural and Cultural History, University of Oregon The 'Peopling of the Americas' is a perennial hot topic that tends to excite broad interest both in the discipline and from the public. I am not aware of any recent book on the topic with the spatial or topical breadth of this important volume, or with the same south to north orientation. People and Culture in Ice Age Americas should be on the shelf of everyone seriously interested in the earliest inhabitants of the New World. --Daniel Sandweiss, professor of anthropology and quaternary and climate studies, University of Maine
