( This expanded edition of Indians and Archaeology of Mis...)
This expanded edition of Indians and Archaeology of Missouri gives an excellent introduction to the cultural development of Missouri’s Indians during the past twelve thousand years. Providing a new chapter on the Hunter Foragers of the Dalton period and substantial revision of other chapters to incorporate recent discoveries, the Chapmans present knowledge based upon decades of experience with archaeological excavations in an understandable and fascinating form. The first edition of Indians and Archaeology of Missouri has been recognized in Missouri and nationally as one of the best books of its kind. The Missouri Historical Review called it “simply indispensable.” The Plains Anthropologist added similar praise: “Clearly written and exceptionally well illustrated…it is the answer to the amateur’s prayers.” Archaeology described it as “a boon to Missouri’s many amateur archaeologists, a useful source of information for professionals and interesting reading for the layman.”

(Carl Chapman's personal knowledge of Missouri archaeology...)
Carl Chapman's personal knowledge of Missouri archaeology is unexcelled, and in this book he has catalogued the old sites, described them thoroughly and provided a lucid summary of Missouri's place in American geography, Chapman proposes that the major migration route to North America was by water 20,000 or more years ago and that probably the first people to reach Missouri came overland from Mexico. His study reconstructs the past cultural history of Missouri from the time of the first migrants before 12,000 B.C. to 1000 B.C. Although data in the study have been compiled from published and unpublished reports, there is much new information derived from original research. The old and the new have been combined to show the development of past societies in relation to both natural and cultural environment. Detailed drawings by Eleanor Chapman and photographs of artifacts, archaeological excavations, and sites illustrate the interpretation of Missouri's past.
