Title: Migrations in prehistory: inferring population movement from cultural remains
Date: 1986
Place of Publication: New Haven, Connecticut
Publisher: Yale University Press
Notes: Description: In this book, Irving Rouse evaluates research on prehistoric migrations, from successfully tested hypotheses explaining the origins of the Polynesians, Eskimos, Japanese, and Tainos, to the more fanciful postulations by authors such as Thor Heyerdahl and Barry Fell. Rouse's work demonstrates not only the viability of the inference of population movements from archaeological evidence but also the effectiveness of collaboration and communication between branches of archaeology and anthropology.
