| Summary |
"Aztalan has remained an unsolved mystery since the early nineteenth century when white settlers made a discovery along the Crawfish River, 50 miles west of the new village called Milwaukee. Who were the early indigenous people who inhabited this place? When did they live here? Why did they disappear? Robert Birmingham and Lynne Goldstein attempt to unlock some of the mysteries, providing insights and information about the group of people who first settled here between AD 1050 and 1100. Filled with maps, drawings, and photographs of artifacts, this volume examines a time before modern Native American people settled in this area. This is a comprehensive account of one of the Midwest's most unique and famous archaeological sites."--Jacket |
