In 1604, when Frenchmen landed on Saint Croix Island, they were far
from the first people to walk along its shores. For thousands of
years, Etchemins--whose descendants were members of the Wabanaki
Confederacy-- had lived, loved and labored in Down East Maine.
Bound together with neighboring people, all of whom relied heavily
on canoes for transportation, trade and survival, each group still
maintained its own unique cultures and customs. After the French
arrived, they faced unspeakable hardships, from "the Great Dying,"
when disease killed up to 90 percent of coastal populations, to
centuries of discrimination. They never abandoned Ketakamigwa,
their homeland. In this book, anthropologist William Haviland
relates the history of hardship and survival endured by the natives
of the Down East coast and how they have maintained their way of
life over the past four hundred years.
Excavations in Residential Areas of Tikal-Nonelite Groups Without
Shrines is a two-volume presentation of the excavations carried out
in and near small residential structures at Tikal, Guatemala,
beginning in 1961. These reports show that Tikal was more than a
ceremonial center; in addition to its numerous temples, the great
Maya city was home to a large population of people. These volumes
look at the residential structures themselves as well as domestic
artifacts such as burials, ceramic test pits, chultuns. Tikal
Report 20B is primarily analytical in nature, reviewing and
interpreting the data from Report 20A to draw new conclusions about
settlement, demography, and society at Tikal. Together, Tikal
Reports 20A and 20B augment the data presented in Tikal Reports 19
and 21. University Museum Monograph, 140
