New Deal Archaeology in the West

""New Deal Archaeology in the West makes a poorly known, under-published record accessible to current and future archaeologists. In so doing, it acts as a reference for researchers investigating these early, key projects. . . . I applaud Pool and Howe for this fascinating study that increases our understanding of early to mid-twentieth century archaeology in the western United States. Archaeologists, historians, and preservationists will find this volume of interest.""--Thatcher A. Seltzer-Rogers, Newsletter of the New Mexico Archeological Council ""This is a fantastic volume that fills a significant gap in the literature and in our understanding of the history of archaeology in the American West. It is really remarkable how poorly documented some of these projects have been until now.""--Stephen E. Nash, Denver Museum of Nature and Science ""This volume stands as a tribute to the people who worked to preserve and to better understand our national heritage. Federally funded archaeology during the Great Depression had a monumental influence on the practice of archaeology in the United States, and this excellent examination of New Deal archaeology provides an important foundation for appreciating their achievements and contributions.""--David H. Dye, University of Memphis
