Notes: Martin is most well-known for his theory that Ice Age humans hunted the large mammals native to each continent to extinction.  This title is at once a basic manual of field archaeology, a history of the Mogollon, and an examination of findings gathered over 15 years of field work in southwestern New Mexico.  Martin is an easy read.
