Summary: 5 Stars
Aztalan: Mysteries Of An Ancient Indian Town is a quest to untangle ancient mysteries surrounding Aztalan, a place 50 miles west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Who were the early indigenous people who once lived in Aztalan between AD 1050 and AD 1100, and why did they disappear? Written by expert archaeologist Robert Birmingham and anthropology professor Lynne Goldstein, and filled with black-and-white maps, drawings, and photographs of artifacts on almost every other page, Aztalan: Mysteries Of An Ancient Indian Town discusses the cultural landscape, the influence of the Mississippi River, and deductions concerning daily life in this ancient settlement. The text is documented and studious, without being stuffy or confusing. Enthusiastically recommended for students, professionals, lay readers curious about the field of Native American archaeology.
Summary of Aztalan: Mysteries of an Ancient Indian Town
????Aztalan has remained a mystery since the early nineteenth century when it was discovered by settlers who came to the Crawfish River, fifty miles west of Milwaukee. Who were the early indigenous people who inhabited this place? When did they live here? Why did they disappear????? Birmingham and Goldstein attempt to unlock some of the mysteries, providing insights and information about the group of people who first settled here in 1100 AD. Filled with maps, drawings, and photographs of artifacts, this small volume examines a time before modern Native American people settled in this area.
