First line
The Folsom site, in Colfax County, New Mexico (29CX1, LA 8121), is one of the most widely known archaeological localities in North America.
From the rear cover
"This book has been nearly 100 years in the making. Since its discovery in 1908, the full story of the Folsom site has been waiting to be told. Finally, it's all here between two covers--the site itself, and the story of its discovery."--Robert Kelly, author of The Foraging Spectrum, and former president of the Society for American Archaeology
"This book is the culmination of a monumental research effort. It documents and evaluates the data collected and personalities involved in the initial investigations over seven decades ago. It includes the results of a well-planned and executed research effort taking advantage of all resources presently available. Meltzer blends all this into a readable, understandable, and long overdue final report on the Folsom site."--George C. Frison, author of Survival by Hunting
"Discoveries at the Folsom site in 1926-27 brought remarkable changes to our perceptions of American prehistory. Meltzer returned and brought 70 years of advancement in the discipline to bear on lingering questions and then wrote this eloquent account that mirrors the history of American archaeology."--Michael B. Collins, The University of Texas at Austin
"This is an instant classic. Meltzer draws his readers in like Bison antiquus coming to water. When he springs his trap--baited with unassailable evidence from documentary and archaeological research--he scores big time. Folsom may have just established a new standard of archaeological reportage."--David Hurst Thomas, American Museum of Natural History
