| Summary: | "This study is an attempt to reconstruct physical and human elements of a vanished Southeast Texas landscape, and then to follow that evolving landscape step by step from the time of first known arrivals of humans during the Last Glacial Maximum until the nearly complete disappearance of Native Americans during the Spanish, French, Mexican, and early Texian eras of the late seventeenth through early nineteenth centuries. The maps and interpretations in this volume apply digital Geographic Information System technology to data from coastal geologic studies and to a digital archeological database of the region, illuminating aspects of the region's Late Pleistocene through Holocene natural and human history. In addition, historical accounts of Native American people in the region are reviewed from original documents of the early Historical Period, in order to understand their lifeways better and to enable better interpretations of artifacts found at prehistoric sites" -- Introduction. |
