This public document was published at an annual cost of $.30 per copy by Division of Administration, Administrative Services, P.O. Box 44095, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70804 to make available to the citizens of Louisiana through publication information about prehistoric and historic archaeology under authority of La.

Louisianas cultural heritage dates back to approximately 10,000 B.C. when Paleo-Indian hunters entered the region in search of Pleistocene big game. Since that time, many other groups have settled in the area. 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 & Tourism provides a readable account of various activities of these cultural groups. Nancy Hawkins, outreach coordinator for the Division of Archaeology, is the author of Preserving Louisianas Legacy, the fifth volume in the Anthropological Study series. This volume departs somewhat from the previous ones in the series in that it does not describe a particular group of people or archaeological sites. Rather it addresses archaeological preservation as a whole. In this volume Ms. Hawkins explains in general terms how an archaeologist studies the past, what factors affect the preservation of archaeological remains, and how government, industry, business, landowners, and other groups and individuals can contribute to the preservation of Louisianas archaeological heritage. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
