The Archaeological Survey of Prehistoric Pelham Bay Park, Bronx County, New York

Pelham Bay Park, situated on the Atlantic coast within the Bronx, New York, is NYC's biggest public park. Take a step into the past with this book which looks at history through an archaeological and anthropological lens & studies the findings recovered during numerous excavations that occurred in the park throughout the 20th century. Many of these findings remain landmark discoveries regarding our understanding of prehistoric Native American people who occupied Coastal New York hundreds and even thousands of years ago. Author and self-trained archaeologist Edward J Kaeser spent much of his free time throughout the 1950’s-1970’s at the park digging, recovering, analyzing, and theorizing. Within this book you will find a crash course in archaeology, anthropology, and history with detailed drawings, figures, and photos of findings and theories of how they were created and used by humans during prehistory.
