Arch Lake Woman: Physical Anthropology and Geoarchaeology (Peopling of the Americas Publications)

The Arch Lake human burial site, discovered in 1967 in eastern New Mexico, contains the third-oldest known remains in North America.

Since its original excavation and removal to Eastern New Mexico Universityâ€™s Blackwater Draw Museum, the 10,000 radiocarbon-year-old burial has been known only locally. In February 2000 an interdisciplinary team led by Douglas W. Owsley reexamined the osteology, geology, archaeology, and radiocarbon dating of the burial. In this first volume in Peopling of the Americas Publicationsâ€”released by Texas A&M University Press for the Center for the Study of the First Americansâ€”Arch Lake Woman presents the results of this recent analysis of the skeleton and site.

In addition to color and black-and-white illustrations, Arch Lake Woman includes extensive tables describing the teamâ€™s discoveries and comparing their results with those of other ancient burials.
