Ancient People of the Arctic - McGhee, Robert

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; The lives of the Palaeo-Inuit, the bold first explorers of the Arctic. 4000 years ago, these people entered the far northern extremes of the North American continent, carving a life from their bleak new homeland. From the hints they left behind, McGhee ingeniously reconstructs a picture of this life at the margins. Archaeological sites have yielded an astounding assortment of beautifully crafted tools and art objects preserved by the intense cold. Here is evidence of lives lived richly and joyfully amid dangers and insecurities beyond the imagination of the present world.
