Light from Ancient Campfires is the first book in twenty years to
gather together a comprehensive prehistoric archaeological record of the
Northern Plains First Nations. In this important examination of the
region's earliest inhabitants, author Trevor R. Peck reviews the many
changes of interpretation that have occurred in relevant literature
published during the last two decades.
Beginning with the earliest archaeological evidence for people in
Alberta, Light from Ancient Campfires covers each period in
chronological sequence. Light from Ancient Campfires provides a new
definition for each archaeological phase, setting previous literature in
a new light.
