This is the first book in over 20 years to synthesize more than 10,000 years of pre-European history in Connecticut. In the past 25 years, many exciting discoveries have been made, yet there have been few current exhibits and books to-date. This book, a co-publication with the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, contains numerous maps, line illustrations, black-and-white photographs, and a colour insert featuring some of the best artefacts within the Peabody Museum and the state of Connecticut. This is the only book dealing solely with the history and culture of Connecticut's indigenous people - from its first settlement to the present - with studies from some of the state's newest sites. This is a must-have for Connecticut teachers and students at the high school and college levels and anyone interested in the topic.
