America Before the European Invasions - Alice Kehoe Beck

Invading Europeans justifies their conquests by denying the evidence of American Indian civilisations.  Using her familiarity with the archaeological remains and remnants, Alice Kehoe builds a fascinating prehistory, highlighting the research puzzles along the way.

This book presents an enthralling look at the depth and diversity of American history - before the Europeans and the deadly epidemics they brought with them decimated whole nations.
