Louisiana's cultural heritage dates back to approximately 10,000 B.C. when people first entered this region. Since that time, many Indian groups have settled here. Each of these groups has left evidence of its presence in the archaeological record. The Anthropological Study series published by the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism provides a readable account of various activities of these cultural groups. Robert W. Neuman, Curator of Anthropology at the Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University, and Nancy W. Hawkins, outreach coordinator for the State Division of Archaeology, co-authored this volume. It is the result of the realization that relatively few Louisiana residents are aware of the state's rich archaeological heritage. Furthermore, there is little introductory information available to them about Louisiana's past. Louisiana Prehistory was written to meet this need. It is meant to be a person's first exposure to the state's prehistoric archaeology.
