Beginning with the earliest archaeological evidence for people in Alberta, <EM>Light from Ancient Campfires</EM> covers each period in chronological sequence.<BR><BR>Throughout his research, Peck asks the following questions: What defines the cultural entity? How has our notion of it changed with increased information? What is the current state of thought concerning this issue? <EM>Light from Ancient Campfires</EM> provides a new definition for each archaeological phase, setting previous literature in a new light.
